Adam Kinzinger vows to reject MAGA. He will back Biden. |
Israel controls our elected officials and the junk food media. This former lawmaker supports Israel and has denounced Palestinian protesters as sympathizers of terrorism.
His endorsement of the incumbent is personal. He felt betrayed by the party he was once a part of. He endorsed the former president in 2016 and 2020. He did not impeach him the first time when he used his authority to manipulate a foreign leader to investigate a political rival. He took issue with the former president whe. It came to the pandemic, denying the election results and sicing his supporters on the very definition of democracy.
Yet, he embraces a foreign apartheid ethnostate. Hmmm.
The former Illinois Republican lawmaker who supported the second impeachment of Donald J. Trump and was a member of the Jan. 6 House Committee has backed President Joe Biden. His own family [parents, uncle, aunt and cousin] disowned him because of his criticism of Trump.
CNN contributor and former lawmaker Adam Kinzinger has endorsed Biden.
He said as a conservative, he cannot in good sense support former president Trump, a twice impeached, multiple indicted, convicted felon who was found liable of sexual assault and fraud.
Kinzinger retired after Republicans and Trump vowed to destroy the 10 members who voted to impeach him after the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Trump vows to go after any Republican who voted for impeachment or failure to endorse his 2024 presidential bid.
Kinzinger, Liz Cheney, Anthony Gonzales, Tom Rice, Jaime Herrera Beutler, Dan Newhouse, Fred Upton, Peter Meijer, David Valadao and John Katko voted to impeach Trump.
Rep. David Valadao (R-CA) and Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-WA) won in 2022 but still face the ire of Trump and MAGA. They are targets of Trump.
As a proud conservative, I’ve always put America’s Democracy and our Constitution above all else.

And today, as a proud conservative, I am endorsing @JoeBiden for reelection! pic.twitter.com/57GYrWsX5w
Rep. Bob Good (R-VA) who supported Trump in 2020, voted against impeachment but endorsed Ron DeSantis over him in 2024 faced the ire of Trump as well.
Kinzinger was leaning towards Nikki Haley. He said he will never back Trump.
Kinzinger posted online said, "As a proud conservative, I’ve always put democracy and our Constitution above all else."
"And it’s because of my unwavering support for democracy, that today, as a proud conservative, I am endorsing Joe Biden for reelection," he said.
The endorsement gives the Biden campaign a boost as the president tries to flip anti-Trump Republicans to Biden's side. The Trump campaign mocked Kinzinger's backing.
“Who’s Adam Kinzinger? Isn’t he the crybaby?” Trump spokesman Steven Cheung said in a text message.
Kinzinger said that Trump is a convicted felon and a perennial flop. Idiot. A sure fired loser who will drag Republicans down with him. I am just putting it in layman's terms.
Trump will react to Kinzinger endorsing Biden. |
"While I certainly don't agree with President Biden on everything, and I never thought I'd be endorsing a Democrat for president, I know that he will always protect the very thing that makes America the best country in the world: our democracy," Kinzinger said.
Trump and Biden are set to square off Thursday in Atlanta in the first presidential debate hosted by CNN. Another Republican critic of Trump who sat on the Jan. 6 committee, Liz Cheney, has not revealed an endorsement in the 2024 election.
"He doesn’t care about our country. He doesn’t care about you. He only cares about himself, and he will hurt anyone or anything in pursuit of power," Kinzinger said of Trump.
"We saw that when he tried to overturn an election he knew he lost in 2020. He attacked the foundation of this nation, encouraging a violent mob of his supporters to march on the Capitol to prevent the peaceful transition of power," he added.
Kinzinger said Trump has now become "even more dangerous" as he seeks a second presidency, citing past remarks by Trump calling for the "termination" of the Constitution and that he wants to be a dictator on day one. "And he’s continuing to stoke the flames of political violence."
He urged others to united behind Biden to "show Donald Trump off the stage once and for all."
"There is too much at stake to sit on the sidelines," he said. "To every American of every political party and those of none, I say: Now is not the time to watch quietly as Donald Trump threatens the future of America."
