Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger laid out for Republicans why Trump isn’t a sufferer of the Biden Division of Justice.
Kinzinger informed CNN’s Jim Acosta:
You already know, I’ve tried to grapple with, you already know, does reality for a few of these of us matter? You already know, do they care what the reality is or not? I feel most Individuals do. There could also be a sure group within the base that doesn’t.
However right here’s the reality. Donald Trump isn’t a sufferer of Joe Biden’s Division of Justice. Donald Trump is a sufferer of launching an rebellion on January sixth, of attempting to cover categorized paperwork that frankly DOJ gave him ample alternative to return, of paying hush cash, of, you already know, all this type of stuff that he’s on trial for is his personal doing. So to say you’re going to come back in, that’s how banana republics are made. While you simply merely prosecute the final administration since you’re ticked off.
Look, it is vitally harmful to go after the final administration except now we have what we had over the previous few years. In that case, I feel it’s extra harmful for the nation to not go after the final president that tried a coup.
All you must do, Jim — and you already know this properly — is take a look at the feedback from individuals like Kevin McCarthy after January sixth. Take a look at the feedback from all these people who say what he did was impeachable, what he did is past the pale. They could change what they’re saying now, however they haven’t modified the details of what occurred a number of years in the past.

Kinzinger was appropriate. Most Individuals do care concerning the reality. I might argue that the majority Trump’s true believers don’t. These persons are nonetheless a minority of the nation. What is occurring now’s that Donald Trump is making an attempt to make use of grievance politics and lies to persuade no less than majority of the states wanted to provide him 270 Electoral School votes to return him to energy.
Trump may be very harmful and nobody ought to assume that he’s joking. Trump is thought for his lack of a humorousness. Donald Trump isn’t joking about ending democracy or coming after journalists.
When Donald Trump talks about being a dictator, he needs to be taken severely.
