Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), a military veteran, tweeted his disgust with a comment by the President Monday morning that quotes a guest on “Fox and Friends” warning that a successful impeachment would spark a “Civil War.”

Kinzinger occasionally criticizes the President, but over his career has voted in line with Trump’s priorities 94.3 percent of the time, per FiveThirtyEight.

Kinzinger is a lieutenant colonel with the Air Force and has been deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan.

  5. NOW he’s “beyond repugnant”? You didn’t realize that all the time you’ve been giving him a hummer, Kinzinger?

    How many times has Fat Ass threatened his rivals and critics with bodily harm and political retribution? And now this wussy mofo finds a spine.

    Looks to me like someone thinks the political winds in his district might be changing and he’s worried about his upcoming election. The hypocritical fuck.
