Tucker Carlson is a 'manipulative son of a bitch' — and other thoughts from Rep. Adam Kinzinger
But while Democrats say they want a Republican like Adam Kinzinger, when presented with a real-life example, it becomes clear that a lot of them don’t really mean it. Democrats in Illinois redrew Kinzinger’s district on unfavorable terms and essentially ended his career in the House. “I think that what it says to people is that you want Republican allies in the defense of democracy until it’s politically advantageous to not,” Kinzinger says.
Now, as he contemplates his future, the question is: who is left to cheer him on, besides the lonely island of Never-Trump conservatives ? Because while everyone says they want a Republican like Adam Kinzinger, when presented with a real-life example, it’s not clear that anyone wants a Republican like Adam Kinzinger. I sat down with him to discuss a potential run for president, what lies ahead for the GOP that left him behind, the January 6th insurrection, and whether he has any regrets.
Trump supporters clash with police and security forces as people try to storm the US Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 6, 2021.Do people like Sen. Josh Hawley and Rep. Steve Scalise genuinely believe what they’re saying, whether it’s that the election was stolen or the insurrection was just a protest, etc?
There were a lot of warning signs over the course of Trump’s administration that he’d try to dismantle democratic institutions if they became inconvenient. Did Republicans — including you — ignore some of those signs? Your wife worked in the administration, for Vice President Pence, until the last year when she moved to Department of Homeland Security. So, you’re in Congress, standing up to Trump, and she’s working for him. What was that like?
