'The reality is there is no impetus to overthrow an election.'

"This is a scam," said Illinois Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger of continued efforts by President Donald Trump and some House Republicans to overturn the election of President-elect Joe Biden.

Kinzinger, speaking Sunday morning on CNN's "State of the Union," said: "The reality is there is no impetus to overthrow an election," and added that even if there were reasons to do so, there is not a constitutional mechanism to overturn a presidential election after states have formally certified their results.

Without singling them out by name, Kinzinger claimed these colleagues of his have an ulterior motive: raising money. "It is a scam and it is going to disappoint the people that believe this election was stolen, that think this is an opportunity to change it," Kinzinger said.Kinzinger told host Dana Bash: "We talk about the Constitution, and we have to follow it and I'm sorry if that doesn't mean the outcome was what you wanted.

Brooks, who has been vocal in claiming the election was stolen from Trump, later responded to Kinzinger's

m_hostage Now this Republican is telling the truth that this election cannot be over turned because it's us the American People that has spoke that we are tired of psychopath Trump mess and that is why he was voted out no he does not want to face the fact that he might be going to jail

Disappointing fella.Looks like he joined swamp.We must expose fraud in our Presidential Election now.Our Country’s safety & future depends on it.During 48 yrs. of voting I’ve never seen so many election irregularities.realDonaldTrump USCongress TheJusticeDept USSupremeCourt

Re: 'The reality is there is no impetus to overthrow an election.'

It has already happened....it needs fixed or SHUT DOWN!!!

any one that can not see the fraud is blind

Please stop promoting this guy like he's some kind of hero. He could have spoken up LONG AGO, but he didn't. Here he was just FOUR MONTHS AGO promising to vote for Trump and his dismantling of the administrative state:

It is a scam

trump's plan sounds like the political version of the pigeon drop scam. He gives them hope that he will remain in the white house and continue the racists agenda, in return he gets their money and loyalty. I wonder how long before the victims (70+ million) realize it.

This is like a junior member of the Sinaloa drug cartel telling us that drugs are bad. Of course it's a scam and this guy belongs to organised crime syndicate running it.

Fat headed babies idea of governing.

Exactly you can't overturn a stolen election. You're merely allowing the actual winner to resume power.

Kinzinger would look better naked shoulders down and ass up.

24 days left of the nightmare we’ve endured for 4 f ing years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Judges without seeing the fraud evidence doesnt care to examine evidence

And the responsibility for any violence will be Trump and his allies , then , they will for sure be prosecuted and go to jail! It’s that clear?

Now “Increase the payments cut the pork”, Some more quite vacuous Trump tweet talk, How bout less golf champ, Conscience revamp, And remove your own pork barrel fork?

Yes it was illegitimate we the people want Revote concede Biden

Trump lost! Trump lost and he is creating caos to undermine Biden/Harris presidency! It’s time for Trump to start packing to leave! The Martials are ready to get Trump out of the White House! and that will be the show of the year! Unbelievable but true! It may really happen!

The (s)election was scam. Reports that it was 'free and fair' are disputed. ALZHEIMER Boy being installed is America's 'Boris Yeltsin' moment.

BananaRepublican need to try harder.

You cant overthrow an election on non evident. Its a done deal. I had to accept trump for Four years and that election Trump won WAS rigged and sabataged. I don’t care who was running.

Is he leaving Congress? Only time they show any spine.

There is if you are a sore loser.

'Scam' is not the 4 letter word I was thinking of. I was thinking of one that starts with C and rhymes with 'moo'

Another reason why Kinzinger will never be president.

He is hot. Is he married?

RepKinzinger needs to quit blowing smoke in his ass. It will ruin his autopsy one day!

The bar is so insanely low for Republican politicians. We're supposed to cheer and clap for every little positive thing these ghouls do as if they are toddlers No thanks!

TStaples66 The normal people have always known it was a scam. The cult still won't believe the truth.

He has a point.

Republicans: If you don't care about your wellbeing or that of your countries and think politics is just a game, then by all means stay a republican. Patriotism is about country, not a political party or a person. See through the smoke at - The Brief - Where the truth matters

It's not a scam. It's an attempted coup.

tell that to every fascist that ever lived.

Just when I thought he is okay, he turns out to be like all the other lying basta4ds in the GOP.

Joe Biden needs to concede immediately.
