If Republicans are pushing lies and conspiracies, they shouldn't take control of the House of Representatives, Republican Rep. Kinzinger says. 'All I can say right now is my party has to embrace truth.'

Kevin Dietsch / Pool via ReutersWASHINGTON — If Republicans are pushing lies and conspiracies, said Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill. on Sunday, they shouldn't take control of the House.

"I think if we're going to be in charge and pushing conspiracy and pushing division and pushing lies, then the Republican Party should not have the majority," Kinzinger said on CNN's State of the Union.Kinzinger, a critic of his own party and former President Donald Trump, was one of two Republicans appointed by Democratic Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., to sit on the panel examining the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo. was the other Republican.

"All I can say right now is my party has to embrace truth. We have to have a full reckoning of what happened on January 6, and we have to turn away from conspiracy," said Kinzinger, when asked whether he thinks voters should trust House Republican leaders with the majority in the next election.sent a letter to GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy

, R-Calif., urging him to remove Kinzinger and Cheney from the conference, accusing them of taking orders from Democrats. "If Andy Biggs has his way, we will be the party where truth-tellers and people that want to stand up for the Constitution, like Liz Cheney and myself, get kicked out of the party because there's no room for truth," said Kinzinger on Sunday."So, I would encourage the rest of my colleagues in the Republican Party to not just passively resist that move, but to do it open and honestly.

The truth is coming, we’ve already embraced it. Check out Gitmo, plenty of room for everyone now.

Demoplican😂😂

That is going to be very hard. Yesterday's Republican party was not so kind anyway. Why else would it change so easily. If the Democrats had done what the Republicans have been doing. On my momma the narrative would be so different.

Russian collusion hoax / Fine people hoax / taking bleach hoax / Ukraine quid pro quo hoax / …. / now the ivermectin hoax. Things that Democrats and Corporate Media ran with for months and some even for years. Who’s pushing conspiracies?

Tell the truth about the big lie!! I can’t believe we talk about that all the time. Say it slowly BIG LIE, do we all understand, ?🙄🙄🙄

В. ГАЙФУЛЛИН, КАШПИРОВСКОМУ: ТЫ, КАК СМЕЕШЬ ГОВОРИТЬ ОТ ЛИЦА РОССКОГО НАРОДА? ТЫ, ОТ ЕВРЕЕВ СВОИХ СБЕЖАЛ В АМЕРИКУ. ТЫ, В СОЦСЕТЯХ УДАЛЯЕШЬ КОММЕНТАРИИ!

He kind of looks like a lost puppy

Save Humanity...

Your party can't handle the truth! Its sad when a movie line is true for nearly half our country.

Lets start with voting rights truth

If? I see no evidence that the GQP is anywhere near ready to embrace the truth.

Right or wrong, too few republican care what you think. Al's, you're a target for having your district eliminated by Illinois democrats.

this is terrible news

Not only embrace truth, but ACT on it, damn it!

I certainly agree

Tell that to Gerry Mander.

He’s right sometimes. But why did he vote against the voting rights act?

Nice words, but he still doesn’t think people should be able to vote, just ask his party line voting record.

Not one of them can be trusted. They all need to be replaced. They've shown their true colors and they're not red, white and blue.

It’s not IF

It's amazing to see a Republican embracing the truth. Lying constantly seems to be a basic requirement for Republicans.

How about embracing voting rights so they can't steal elections? Adam voted NO so he's fine with the conspiracies and lies.

We need a psychological evaluation of these people before they take office we don’t want to keep putting crazy nut jobs in leader ship positions.

A voice in the wilderness.

Then he votes against voting rights bill. So he still party over people.

It’s way too late for the GOP to backtrack or change their commitment to obstruction and misinformation now. Only a humiliating defeat at the polls by Americans willing to get there whatever it takes will give the GOP a hope of rebranding itself as a viable political party.

The lying and misinformation from Republicans has weakened our democracy and strengthens our enemies. It is like they want democracy to fail.

MUY COHERENTE

...but voter suppression and taking g over the election count is ok

The same guy that couldn’t embrace voting rights He voted No. Spare me.

EXACTLY !

I’m a blue card carrying progressive democrat … I would vote for AdamKinzinger RepKinzinger for President … his integrity is palpable …

Unfortunately AdamKinzinger the bulk of your party not knmy first embrace truth, the blatantly & aggressively embrace propaganda, lies & crazy conspiracies. They show no signs of that changing!

lies and conspiracies ?

Truth? That’s a foreign concept to Republicans!

💯

New face of the GOP after the Jan 6 commission. No debate.

My Rep and the only Republican I can cast a vote for with a clear conscience. He will get Democratic support in 22 but I don't know if we can make up for the RepubliCONS he lost in our district. Good guy. Honorable Congressman. He deserves all of our support.

Republicans (99%) have never embraced or used truth! 🤷🏼‍♀️

Much less Democrats,after their border and Afaganistan’s crisis.They are a public threat

The crazy base isn't big enough....surely

Kinzinger is correct. Unfortunately, Republicans have been enjoyed tremendous success through their constant lying. Why would they want to give that up for the sake of something so trivial as honesty and integrity?

74/250. That's the ratio [in millions]..of Repubs to Dems/Indpts voters. Even with GOP cheating, Repubs are still OUTNUMBERED. The BIG VOTE PUSH is the only way to MAINTAIN the HOUSE AND SENATE. This is the BIG ONE..THE BIG ELECTION OF THE CENTURY IN 2022. Vote or die trying.

I like this guy..he's very presidential

He is unable to provide facts of the real republicans and the dems do not release information which to me states' what are they hoding'. You should run as a democrat

Well someone just got cancelled 😂

But they won't. And they'll say you're the liar and not them, instead.

That would be a refreshing change.

I like you AdamKinzinger but it’ll never happen.

So he should support voting rights then. 🙄🤦‍♂️

The GOP HouseGOP gopleader are incapable of the truth. They prefer conspiracies, lies and disinformation. Not qualified to hold office let alone run the House, Senate or Presidency.

Courage

Lol so what do you call what DEMS are pushing.. ? load of CRAP (or other select words of your choice). “The “better than thou” complex runs thick

Not only should they be nowhere near any position of power, most of them should be behind bars. If only people would realize they aren't there to govern, but simply to rule.

Trump's GOP

The truth, that is a novel idea! But I don't think we will see it in American politics for a long time.

Republicans keen on hammering Biden on inflation as the White House projects hikeSince the beginning of Biden's presidency and more recently with his economic agenda advancing, Republicans have taken to using inflation as a rallying cry. Cry is all they do. Years of Big Tax breaks when it should have been going into jobs, infrastructure, environment, CLEAN WATER!! Health care, education, childcare, etc. And many Americans were working 2+ jobs with children at home. We can do better, this is America. Deflate the republicans in the midterms!
