« Do you support democracy, or do you not support democracy?
That is the one issue on the ballot. Vote accordingly. »
— Adam Kinzinger, former congressman and member of the House January 6th Committee, in conversation Tuesday on NPR's Fresh Air via WHYY in Philadelphia.
Listen to the entire 44-minute conversation here.
Rep. Kinzinger's book "Renegade" is just out.
I agree with him on 2024. Democracy, both in the US and internationally, is THE essential issue in elections at all levels in the US next year.

Donald Trump has come under fire for amplifying a call to his supporters to get “locked and loaded” and “physically fight” for the Republican party’s front-runner for the 2024 presidential elections.
Mr. Trump, who is actively using his own social media platform Truth Social after he was barred from Twitter, reposted a message by a supporter who seemed to suggest violence.
“Then they will have to figure out how to fight 80,000,000 + it’s not going to happen again. People my age and old will physically fight for him this time,” a Truth Social post from username @freeTX1776 read.
“What we got to lose? I’ll donate the rest of my time here on this planet to do it. And I know many many others who feel the same. They got my 6 and we Are Locked and LOADED.”
Mr. Trump, who was investigated for over 18 months by a House committee over his role in the 6 January 2021 Capitol riot, was blamed as the “central cause”.
His supporters descended on Capitol Hill after he told his more than 80 million Twitter followers to come to Washington on the day Congress would make final his 2020 election defeat to Joe Biden, and wrote that the day’s events would be “wild”.
The twice-impeached President was called out by prominent people on social media for amplifying a message that suggested a repeat of the 6 January riots.
Former Republican congressman Adam Kinzinger, who was one of two Republicans on the Democratic-led January 6 select committee, asked whether it is even legal to support this for a presidential runner.
“This is sick sick sick. Is it legal to even invite this kind of stuff?” Mr. Kinzinger, 44, a staunch critic of Mr. Trump, said.
Former FBI agent Peter Strozk, who shared the screenshot on Twitter of Mr. Trump resharing the post, said it is the “normal signs of a well-functioning democracy” in an apparent sarcasm.
He referred to Mr. Trump’s latest comments in which he said he trusts Russia’s president Vladimir Putin over his own Director of National Intelligence.
Responding to Mr. Kinzinger, attorney Harris Peskin said he is stunned. “Absolutely shocked that the guy who tried to overthrow the government the first time, would try again. I just DID NOT see this coming! What a twist!”
The official Twitter handle for the Lincoln Project said: “Just appalling. Trump is gearing up for another January 6th attack. Show this to anyone who does not take seriously the existential threat that MAGA poses to our democracy.”

Adam Kinzinger joined CBS' Face The Nation on Sunday morning to discuss the bombshell revelations from the first public hearing held by the bipartisan January 6th Committee and he had some pretty stark words for Donald Trump and his supporters.
DICKERSON: One of the findings on Thursday even, we were shown for the first time, is several people close the President telling him there was no widespread fraud, he was going to lose. How many people close to him do you think were sending him that message?
KINZINGER: I don't really know many people around him that truly believe that the election was stolen and they told him so. Yet a lot of people told him it wasn't.
DICKERSON: Were there people who knew it was a lie and yet carried on in his inner circle?
KINZINGER: Oh, for sure. All you have to do is look at he was surrounded by "yes people" that want to tell him everything that pleases him. We'll get more into at. I don't want to spoil the deep dive into some of this stuff. I think if anybody truly believed, after what you see, after what the Attorney General says, for instance, after what every piece of information comes in, if you truly believe the election was stolen then, if the President truly believes it, for instance, he is not mentally capable to be President. I think he didn't believe it. I think the people around him didn't believe it. This was all about keeping power against the will of the American people.
This is a KEY point for the committee to make, in fact it may be the biggest one, from a legal standpoint. If they can show that he KNEW he lost and that he continued to push the big lie to his followers in order to incite them to commit insurrection and to riot against the Capitol, that is something that cannot be overlooked by the Department of Justice. It is one thing for him to genuinely believe he won - not that he SHOULD have won - but that he really did win and no one told him that he lost. It is becoming crystal clear that pretty everyone told him he lost (Bill Barr, Jason Miller, even Ivanka!). Let's see what happens in subsequent hearings when they keep pulling this thread.
Watch the video clip.

Oooh they named the people who asked for pardons, and it's exactly who you'd expect.
As Adam Kinzinger said - you only want a pardon if you know you committed a crime.

Excerpt from this Washington Post story:
“Threats of violence over politics has increased heavily in the last few years,” Kinzinger tweeted. “But the darkness has reached new lows. My new interns made this compilation of recent calls they’ve received while serving in my DC office.”
Kinzinger tweeted some of the recordings compiled by high school and college students interning for him this summer and invited readers to listen to the attacks. One caller said he hopes Kinzinger dies quickly, while another called him a lying backstabber for his participation on the committee. Callers left racist comments and disputed the facts of the investigation while wishing harm on the lawmaker’s family.
“Going to come protest in front of your house this weekend,” one message said. “We know where your family is.”
“Gonna get your wife. Gonna get your kids,” the caller added.
Other angry voice mails threatened Kinzinger’s mother, while another targeted Cheney. One woman wished Kinzinger suffered.
Last month, Kinzinger tweeted a copy of a threatening letter his wife received bashing the lawmaker.
“I’d never seen or had anything like that. It was sent from the local area,” he said of the letter that read in part, “that pimp you married not only broke his oath, he sold his soul.”
“There is violence in the future, I’m going to tell you,” Kinzinger said in June on ABC’s “This Week.” “And until we get a grip on telling people the truth, we can’t expect any differently.”
