Kinzinger Says Mike Pompeo Doesn’t Have a ‘Moral Center’: ‘He Knows He Can’t Go After Trump and Run for President’

EXCERPT:

KINZINGER: “Look, I blame Joe Biden for what happened in Afghanistan. I also blame Mike Pompeo. You don’t have to pick a side here. They’re all to blame. And he’s trying to run for president. Let’s just be clear. He wants to run for president. He knows that he cannot go after Trump and run for president. He’s hoping Trump doesn’t run and he can use that lane. So he’s trying to walk a tightrope. That is somebody without a moral center. And he had a moral center. So I don’t know what happened when he went off to the administration but I guess power is very, very attractive to some people. As they always say, power corrupts. In this case, it’s sad to see my friend gone the way he’s gone. If he could just tell the truth — I know he did some actually heroic things within the administration to prevent disaster, but he’s trying to pick the Trump side because he thinks he can be president that way.”
