Adam Kinzinger Spots Why GOP Is So Afraid Of Contentious Town Halls
HuffPost
The former GOP congressman revealed what makes Republicans "nervous" as they face outrage from their constituents over President Donald Trump's policies.
Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) shared his insight on what might be coming for Republicans whose angry constituents are slamming them over their support for President Donald Trump amid his second term.
Kinzinger told a “CNN NewsNight” panel that he hated doing town halls as an elected official when he faced people upset with him. But, he added, it’s not only OK for constituents to criticize or compliment their representatives — it’s their right.
“The reality is this, this is scaring Republicans, and it should, because this mimics what happened in 2010 when you saw the Tea Party rise up,” Kinzinger argued.
Kinzinger later took to X, formerly Twitter, where he urged Americans to “keep up the demands” for town halls to hold Republicans accountable as it “really is making them nervous.”
