Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) called out members of his own party and President Donald Trump on Sunday for refusing to acknowledge that Trump lost the election, warning of potential violence if Republicans continue their “grifting scam” to challenge the results.

With a number of the president’s allies in the House and Senate signaling that they will disrupt Congress’ Jan. 6 certification of the Electoral College vote in a last-ditch effort to steal the election, Kinzinger took to Twitter over the weekend to chastise Trump and the “congressional grifters.”

“My God. Trying to burn the place down on the way out because you can’t handle losing. No evidence, nothing but your temper tantrum and crazy conspiracies. Embarrassing,” the Illinois congressman tweeted in response to Trump cheering on the effort.

Interviewing Kinzinger on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday, guest host Dana Bash brought up the planned attempt to contest President-elect Joe Biden’s decisive victory, noting that Trump and Vice-President Mike Pence recently met with some of the Republicans behind the effort.

“I expect there will be a little chaos,” Kinzinger responded. “This is a scam, though.”

2. The military needs to tell Trump that any disruption of our democratic process will be

considered as insurrection and treated as such in n uncertain terms.

[Lock him up.]

3. DC Mayor Muriel Bowser must take action to protect Congress on Jan. 6, as the fascist ratfuckers

will rally there and who knows what they intend to do.

SWAT teams around Congress must be positioned to not let these armed crazies attempt any coup!

4. Kinziger actually sounds serious; very unusual in a Republican when calling out his own

I wonder if anyone else in his caucus will follow his lead, or if they're all too enamored of the short-fingered vulgarian to take this sensible position?

5. At this point it's pretty easy to see when rallies involving Trump fans turn violent.
