Adam Kinzinger Shares Unlikely 'Sign' He'll Be Looking For In Trump's RNC Speech

In an appearance on "The Late Show," the GOP ex-lawmaker was asked about calls to lower the temperature in politics and whether Trump will oblige.

Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) joined “The Late Show” on Tuesday in the wake of the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.

Host Stephen Colbert asked his guest what he’s looking for in Trump’s speech at the Republican National Convention on Thursday.

“Everyone is talking, understandably, about lowering the temperature,” Colbert said. “What would be a sign for you that he’s taking that advice himself?”

“It would be a sign for me if he said, ‘I’m not going to run,’ right?” Kinzinger, a vocal Trump critic, quipped. “That would be a good one, but that’s probably not going to happen.”

On a more serious note, he continued, “Look, I think if he stands up and he talks about policy, he talks about issues, and talks about, you know, like, basically gives a speech he’s never given before, then that will be, to me, a sign that he wants to lower the temperature.”
