'Stop it, folks': Hear Kinzinger's message to people worried about Trump coming after them

CNN senior political analyst Adam Kinzinger has been a target of president-elect Donald Trump’s ire ever since the former congressman served on the House select committee that investigated the January 6, 2020 insurrection at the US Capitol. He tells CNN’s Jessica Dean he isn’t worried about Trump’s numerous threats to go after political enemies.

Adam, as much as I respect you, “held accountable “ is only for the rest of us. He has not been accountable for anything.

[themotownboy]

Sorry, Adam… we know the law doesn’t apply fairly and equally in the US. The crapiest part is that half the country doesn’t care or is okay with that.

I never want to hear "no one is above the law" or "This is not who we are" ever again

Taking 'Oath of Office'
What a joke of a ceremony that will be.

Adam:"Someone who breaks the law needs to be held accountable." unfortunately we are finding out that isn't true if you're rich in America. Your justice system is broken and corrupt.

[prank]

We were lied to when told no one is above the law!

Adam, I wouldn’t be so sanguine about trump’s threats. When someone tells you who they are, believe them. I’m sure there were people in Germany in 1933 saying the same thing you just did. Supreme Court already has given him immunity for anything he wants to do, as long as he dresses it up as an “official act”.

The courts have failed American Society...

There's a terrible tragic irony in Kinzinger's statement: "Anyone who breaks the law should obviously be held accountable."
Did anyone else catch that? 🤨 Pardon me if I don't feel reassured.

[nuffsaidsmith]

Adam I understand the need to ease anxiety and tensions. But the worry is legit. Trump committed crimes and he should be held to account! It is sad that 75 million don’t care about that!

[jansloopy]

Why would anyone wish a fascist success?

[ScytheNoire]

LMAO, people who break the law should be held accountable.
Not in America if they are rich or powerful.
Not a single Republican in power who participated in the insurrection was held accountable.

[DevsAvocado]

There is no justice system and no it’s not fine!

[AndeThompson-exsv]

I still can’t believe, that the republican party chose someone like dt, over Adam Kinzinger…Educated, veteran, conservative congressman.

[musclesmountainsandmascara]

I'm bummed to hear him say this... we have a justice system that works? 🤔 We have a justice system that works, sometimes, but not equally for everyone...

[raynemarie]

This is not who we are? Apparently this is exactly who we are.

[thesword]

Only a week ago Kinzinger was saying Trump was the biggest threat to the US in history. Now he says don't worry about it.

[brianhench]

I know a guy who served some time for breaking into a business and getting caught. He did a plea deal with a light sentence, so he was told. He ended up doing 4 years, but due to his plea deal, he now had a permanent record for vandalism instead of breaking and entering. This kept him from being able to sign a lease for apartments and from getting hired for some of the most simple jobs due to background checks. If this is how America wants to treat criminals who pay their dues, why is TRUMP EVEN IN THE RACE AT ALL? A double standard is what I see.

[seasharptune]

"They are going to have to make up stuff..." Adam, isn' t that exactly what they are particularly good at? Please keep your wonderful optimism and watch your back!

I have huge respect for Kinzinger, but I think he is far off the mark here as to just how dangerous Trump is. This is very clearly no longer a country governed by rules and laws.
