Adam Kinzinger On McCarthy: Kevin's A Piece Of Sh*t

"Kevin's a piece of shit. And let's just be honest about this, because he will say whatever you need to say to stay in power," said Kinzinger during Charlie Sykes' Bulwark podcast. "I'm not even saying that gratuitously to be mean to him. It's just a fact."

He also said that "House moderates have a lot of power they're not willing to use, while the Freedom Caucus —AKA "The Terror Club" — is willing to shoot hostages." These anonymous, cowering moderates? Where are they? Are there any moderates left in the Republican Party?

A whole lot of the Biden and Democratic vote was anti-MAGAt. In a normal midterm year we’d have gotten wiped out. All those problems, crime, inflation, gas prices etc, whether they were Joe’s fault or not were going to be laid at his feet and that’s the way people vote. The general public isn’t very up to speed on political reality. You see how it goes. With only one exception, the President’s party always loses the House in the first midterm.

But the loons are an exception. If it weren’t for the ludicrous and, in some cases, illegal gerrymandering, we’d have kept the House.
