When Representative Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) speaks these days, everyone listens. At least the sane ones do. The Illinois representative sits on the January 6 Committee along with one more lone Representative Liz Cheney (R-AZ). Both are there to protect democracy. The Republican National Committee (RNC) just censured them for seeking the truth, and Kinzinger had a few things to say about it.
He urged “every Republican” [to answer this question] where do you stand on the RNC censure [of Cheney and Kinzinger]:”
‘Every Republican (up and down ballot, everywhere) must be asked this and only this: where do you stand on the RNC censure, until they clearly and directly answer. Pick a side, no more middle ground.
‘Republicans do not have a right to remain silent.’
The Illinois representative called the other Republicans out for “acting like children:”
‘We have been acting like children, so maybe we can learn from them how to put our Country First.’

Next, Kinzinger questioned whether the January 6 rioters had inside help:
‘To open this door you have to hold it for a few seconds. Because of fire escape reasons it’s not “magnetically locked.” No “command center” opened it. Other rioters who opened another door were instructing (from second level) how to open it.’

After Lt. Colonel Kinzinger delved into “peace and war” at home, he took up President Joe Biden’s handling of the Afghanistan pullout. He added this quote from CNN’s State of the Union Jake Tapper’s tweet:
‘CNN’s @JakeTapper on Biden dismissing a US Army report on the failures of the Afghanistan pullout: “I don’t doubt President Biden cares, but I do not understand why he would not manifest that care into taking this investigation more seriously.”‘
