Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger (IL) took aim at his QAnon-sympathizing colleagues on Wednesday by suggesting that a GOP trend of embracing conspiracy theories has “unmoored the party.”
Wow, ya think?
No True Scotsman.
Kinzinger Suggests QAnon Theories Have ‘Unmoored’ The Republican Party
Well, good luck with that.
Congressman is really proving the point that the truth will set you free.
" Kinzinger: Voting to impeach Trump 'could very well be terminal to my career"
He’s been talking for awhile now and the realization of exsposing the truth are clear for him and his career anyway.
I like this guy Kinzinger. Probably means he won’t be a Republican in Congress much longer.
He can always become a Democrat.
This Adam guy is a Republican…because? Not sure he’d be a good Dem, but his rejection of Qanon is certain proof of non-acceptance within the GOP party.
Censure by the GOP house leaders in 3…2…2.4…2.2…((Kevin checks his seat numbers))…2.219…2.218…
He sounds like George Will. “These aren’t real Republicans”
Sure they are!
Among registered Republicans, Trump was the most popular sitting president in the history of polling. You Sir are in denial.
He isn’t wrong per say, with regards to her specifically, however. The two problems he is having are that she is more a symptom than a cause…the “new republican” thing he is referencing is most definitely a part of their base now, that’s why she easily won her seat.
The second problem he is having is this nonsense:
According to Kinzinger, a worrying number of people have been “pulled into this dark underworld of conspiracies” and he suggested — without naming the House GOP leadership directly — that it was up to “leaders and everybody, frankly, to expose that darkness to bring light to darkness to begin to disinfect that.”
The LAST thing anyone in the GOP wants done, is for a light to be exposed to their inner workings. The party has been corrupted for a long time, and that corruption accelerated massively in the last 4 years. Ryan as Speaker, for example, knew perfectly well that the GOP was receiving massive funding from Russians, through numerous means. McConnell almost certainly knows, too.
Their leader, Donald, has been feeding a steady steam of crazy conspiracy theories for years to their base. And as long as they were in power, nobody cared. Hell, they actively supported it, as it helped them maintain power. Now that they are out of power, well…grabbing the tiger’s tail for a ride is dangerous business, and now its going to eat.
He is very correct, IMO, in that the fight over the next 6 months to a year, is going to tear the party in two. The only remaining question is which side comes out on top. I don’t like the “sane republicans” chances, personally.
At least I agree with him on this issue.
Why? He chose to be a Republican. Aside from the party’s lurch toward sedition, what (if any) of his politics has really turned toward the left?
Deep State getting to some of the republicans, I see.
If a faction of the Republican Party wishes to break off and form, say, a Q-Anon Party, I wouldn’t complain. It’s a free country after all.
The Republican Party has been unmoored for years. The only surprise is that it took QAnon crazy to get Rep’s like Kinzinger to finally admit the obvious.
Now the Greene Party.
Well done.
That is an extraordinary claim. Do you have any compelling evidence to support it, beyond just Lev and Igor (whose funding was definitely well below the level of “massive”).
