Adam Kinzinger Brutally Sums Up The 'Entire' Republican Party With Just 1 Acronym
HuffPost
The former congressman flagged a "concern" for Republicans when Donald Trump's second term comes to an end.
Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) — a frequent Donald Trump critic after the president-elect’s 2020 election loss — revealed why it’s “interesting” that critics tag him with the “RINO” acronym, which stands for “Republican In Name Only.”
“The reality is the entire Republican Party today is the RINO. They’re Republicans in name only,” said Kinzinger in an interview with Salon shared Saturday.
“They hold the title to the Republican Party, a lot of them still think they’re holding a legacy, but that’s exactly right, it’s gone.”
Kinzinger, the focus of a new documentary “The Last Republican” from “Hot Tub Time Machine” director Steve Pink, said “what it means now to be a Republican” is that you’re “driven by anger” and division.
“I think what they stand for is supporting culture war, rage, and one person, one personality, and that’s Donald Trump. Now, they’ll never admit it, but that’s the reality of it,” he said.
