Kinzinger: I Believe History Will Remember January 6, 2021 as a ‘Coup Attempt’

EXCERPT:

KINZINGER: “Yeah, I do. I do. Look, we‘re in this emotion, you know, Donald Trump got defeated, he convinced — I mean, look, he convinced his base that election was stolen from him. That, for four years, built this, like, intense anger where they truly believed this deep state garbage was happening. He‘s going to be president now for four years. He‘s going to own everything that happens in the economy, everything that happens in the world, and that, like, excitement, that, like, ‘We have been robbed’ will wear off. And history has this amazing ability to accurately reflect the happenings of that day. So while maybe today it‘s kind of surreal that we‘re here four years later after that and putting Donald Trump back in the presidency, history will not be kind to him. And I‘m glad you brought up my tweet, because I actually have this ready to go: ‘Speaker Johnson tweeted this on January 6th, 2021: ‘I unambiguously condemn, in the strongest possible terms, any and all forms of violent protest. Any individual who committed violence today should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.’’ It goes on for a whole another thing. And now that‘s going to be a question when Donald Trump gets into office and decides does he want to prosecute the people that looked into what happened on January 6th and embarrassed him, and does he want to pardon the people who did what Speaker Johnson just four years ago said they should be prosecuted for?”
