Pelosi Republican Adam Kinzinger finally got to have his say at the opening of the January 6th hearings today and he used his time to slam “toxic” Republicans for treating the events of January 6th and Pelosi’s committee as “just another partisan fight.”
His statement stands alone and as you will see he sounds a lot more like a Democrat than a Republican. Kinzinger also makes clear he is a fool and a willing tool for Nancy Pelosi and her schemes. All he seems to want is his moment of fame, followed by a commentator contract with CNN, MSNC or the like.
Here is Mr. Kinzinger in his own words:
“I never expected today to be quite as emotional for me as it has been. I’ve talked to a number of you and gotten to know you. I think it’s important to tell you right now, though, you guys may like individually feel a little broken. You guys all talked about the effects you have to deal with and you talked about the impact of that day. But you guys won. You guys held. Democracies are not defined by our bad days. They’re defined by how we come back from bad days, how we take accountability for that. And for all the overheated rhetoric surrounding this committee, our mission is very simple. It’s to find the truth and it’s to ensure accountability.
Like most Americans, I’m frustrated that six months after a deadly insurrection breached the United States Capitol for several hours on live television, we still don’t know exactly what happened. Why? Because many in my party have treated this as just another partisan fight. It’s toxic and it’s a disservice to the officers and their families, to the staff and the employees on the Capitol complex, to the American people who deserve the truth and to those generations before us who went to war to defend self-governance, because self-governance is at stake. It’s why I agreed to serve on this committee. I want to know what happened that day, but more importantly I want all Americans to be able to trust the work this committee does and get the facts out there free of conspiracy.
This cannot continue to be a partisan fight. I’m a Republican, I’m a conservative but in order to heal from the damage caused that day, we need to call out the facts. It’s time to stop the outrage and the conspiracies that fuel the violence and division in this country. And most importantly, we need to reject those that promote it. As a country, it’s time to learn from our past mistakes, rebuild stronger so this never happens again, and then we can move onward. And serving on this committee, I’m here to investigate January 6th, not in spite of my membership in the Republican Party, but because of it, not to win a political fight, but to learn the facts and defend our democracy. Here’s what we know. Congress was not prepared on January 6th.
We weren’t prepared because we never imagined this could happen, an attack by our own people fosters and encouraged by those granted power through the very system they sought to overturn. That is a lesson. That is not a conspiracy theory or a counter narrative. We don’t blame victims, we go after the criminals. Some have concocted a counter narrative to discredit this process on the grounds that we didn’t launch a similar investigation into the urban riots and looting last summer. Mr. Chairman, I was called onto serve during the summer riots as an air national guardsman. I condemn those riots and the destruction of property that resulted. But not once did I ever feel that the future of self-governance was threatened like I did on January 6th.
There is a difference between breaking the law and rejecting the rule of law, between a crime, even grave crimes and a coup. As we begin our work today, I want to call this committee’s attention to an oath of office, not to a party, not to an individual, but to the Constitution that represents all Americans. Everyone in elected office knows how hard it can be sometimes to keep that oath, to preserve, defend and protect the Constitution of the United States in the forefront of our minds with the political pressures and reelections always around the corner. But Mr. Chairman, our witnesses today, like every law enforcement officer across the country, took the same oath we did. And on January 6th, the temptation to compromise their oath didn’t come in the form of a campaign check or a threat from leadership or an all caps tweet. It came in the form of a violent mob.
While we on this dais were whisked away from the danger, heroes like those here stood their post before it and paid the price. And we are only here now because you guys were here then. Therefore, it’s all together fitting that we begin our investigation of January’s lawless attack against the Constitution with these four men who made sure the attack who did not succeed, with those who helped to ensure that democracy held. And I think it’s important to remember you are four with stories, but there are hundreds with stories as well that you represent where you sit. Officer Fanone, I know your passion is to make sure that D.C. Metro gets the credit it’s due. And I thank you for — I know you represent the hundreds of officers, like Officer Hodges that responded to that call.”
Kinzinger is a buffoon and his own words confirm it. He seems to expect us to believe he is in search for the truth on a committee led by Democrats and the likes of Adam Schiff.
If Kinzinger really thinks this committee is searching for the truth then he is even dumber than I thought.
Well I guess a sucker is born every day, but most in the GOP are not buying what Kinzinger or his buddies Liz Cheney and Nancy Pelosi are selling.
