Republican congressman rips Texas GOP for suggesting secession and says 'my guy Abraham Lincoln and [View all]

the Union soldiers already told you no'

Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger on Friday criticized the Texas GOP for floating the idea of secession after the Supreme Court rejected a bid to overturn the results of the presidential election.

In a statement, the Republican Party of Texas decried the court's decision, with Chairman Allen West suggesting that "law-abiding states should bond together and form a Union of states that will abide by the constitution."

Kinzinger, who represents Illinois' 16th District, said in a tweet the Texas GOP "should immediately retract this, apologize, and fire Allen West and anyone else associated with this."

"My guy Abraham Lincoln and the Union soldiers already told you no," he said.
