Rep. Kinzinger: Trump Supporting Assange Is ‘Absolutely’ the Wrong Thing To Do

‘This is one area where I’m still having a hard time understanding why there is such a intense desire, I guess, to say that the system was never hacked’

KINZINGER: "I think it is absolutely the wrong thing to do. Let's keep in mind, personally, he's wanted for sexual assault right now, so that's a very important thing. This is no nice guy. He's exposed American secrets, which we have a right to do as a country, to Intel gather and things along that line. And he's putting American operatives, American troops, American policy goals at risk. And, so, look, there's a lot of things with Donald Trump I'm excited to work with him on as a Republican, but this is one area where I'm still having a hard time understanding why there is such a intense desire, I guess, to say that the system was never hacked or to say that the Russians are actually not as bad as we think they are."
