Republican lashes out at 'capitulation' of GOP to Trump — and says Lauren Boebert clearly knew about Jan. 6

Rep. Adam Kinzinger, a 43-year-old Air Force veteran, always assumed that there would a "career-ending" vote he would have to take. But according to a New York Times profile, Kinzinger assumed it would be about Social Security instead. After the attack on the U.S Capitol Jan. 6, it became clear what he would have to do.

1. If you think about it.. It's a major concession to acknowledge that Bang Bang Boebert knows,

or knew, anything... ABOUT ANYTHING.

But, yeah, seditious conspiracy is at the top of the list of things she might possibly have non-zero knowledge about.

Goddamned Dipshit McFuckwit.

The depth of which should scare the nation.

4. I want to know where she was at the time the pipe bombs were placed.

Something about that is triggering me. She has the chutzpah to do that. If someone could check to see if she ever bought those particular and unusual shoes....

9. This is a good paragraph:

"Kevin gave a great speech the week after that, and then he went to Mar-a-Lago and charged the paddles and brought Trump back to life," he said of Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA). "That's the moment when I realized, Oh, man, this is a problem. You come to understand that when the party and party leaders talk about unity, and in the same breath, say that Donald Trump is the leader of the Republican Party, what they're talking about isn't unity. They're talking about capitulation. When under the guise of unity, you act like Jan. 6 was just whatever you want to make of it, that is capitulating to a false narrative and to a dangerous attack on democracy. I will certainly talk to Kevin if he wants to. But I don't see how we're ever going to come eye-to-eye on this until there is a recognition that we can't be the party of insurrection."

12. And then he runs aground at the end...

He also said that Democrats are making it worse by not accepting defecting Republicans into their tribe.

"Let's quit playing this game on the left of 'not enough, too late.' Because that's when people are like, 'Fine, then I'm just going to pick my tribe and stick with them,'" he said.

Yeah, it's our fault. Thirty effing years of trying to reach across and pulling back a mauled stump, of months negotiating to build consensus only to have lockstep refusal no matter what, and gosh, we're the ones being "tribal" by not turning out party over to you guys.

13. Excuse me, but who exactly does he mean with this statement?

He also said that Democrats are making it worse by not accepting defecting Republicans into their tribe.

"Let's quit playing this game on the left of 'not enough, too late.' Because that's when people are like, 'Fine, then I'm just going to pick my tribe and stick with them,'" he said.

Who, exactly, has defected to our side?
