During a recent interview, Congressman Adam Kinzinger shared his thoughts on various topics, including the ongoing political landscape and the implications of recent events. Kinzinger expressed disappointment in the Speaker's comments, particularly regarding the false claims surrounding the trial and the suggestion of Supreme Court intervention.

He highlighted the potential impact of the recent guilty verdict on the upcoming election, emphasizing that some Republicans may be hesitant to support a convicted felon for the highest office. Kinzinger also addressed the significant donations received by the Trump campaign following the verdict, attributing it to a perceived conspiracy mentality within the GOP.

Regarding the possibility of the former president facing jail time, Kinzinger deferred to the judicial system, noting the lack of remorse shown by Trump. He emphasized the importance of equal justice under the law, regardless of one's status or aspirations.

As the 80th anniversary of D-Day approaches, Kinzinger drew parallels between the current political climate and the 1930s, expressing concern over the division and rhetoric being perpetuated. He criticized Trump for fostering division rather than unity, likening his tactics to those of a fascist leader.

In conclusion, Kinzinger expressed optimism for the future, believing that the nation will ultimately reject the divisive rhetoric and actions of Trump. He urged Americans to stand against fascism and work towards a more united and inclusive society.
