RINO Kinzinger Claims That He Thought About Opening Fire On January 6 Protesters

Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), infamous for being one of the biggest RINOs in Congress, spoke out this week to claim that he considered firing his gun at the rioters who stormed the Capitol on January 6. 

Kinzinger told Rolling Stone that he was “hunkered down” in his office for six hours “with my gun out, prepared to defend against my own party” when rioters entered the Capitol. When asked if he’d considered opening fire on the rioters, Kinzinger said, “Yeah, I thought about it.”

“If you’re already at a point where you’re beating down police officers, and you’re willing to sack the U.S. Capitol, which hadn’t been done in hundreds of years, if you come face-to-face with Chief RINO in his office, who doesn’t believe that Donald Trump won reelection, yeah, they’re going to try to fight and kill me, and I’m not going to let that happen,” Kinzinger continued, referring to the pejorative “Republican in name only.”

When asked if there was any point on January 6 when he felt “genuinely scared,” Kinzinger replied by whining that he felt that way at 2:30 pm, when he thought to himself, “Man, there’s a real sense of evil.”

“I can’t explain it any further than that,” he added. “And I’m not one of these guys that feels evil a lot. But I just felt a real darkness, like a thick, bad feeling.”

Once the rioters breached the Capitol, Kinzinger claimed that he realized that they could “get anywhere,” including his office.

“I had been targeted on Twitter that day and prior, like, ‘Hangman’s noose. We’re coming for you,’” Kinzinger said. “And people know where my office is. So I barricaded myself in here, thinking, ‘If this is as bad as it seems, they may end up at my office, breaking this crap down, and I may have to do what I can.’”

Kinzinger also claimed in this interview that he warned House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) in advance that January 6 was a day that would turn violent, but his concerns were allegedly pushed aside. He added that he told his staff to stay home on that day in anticipation of the violence.

This comes one month after Kinzinger announced that he would not be seeking reelection next year, instead choosing to focus his energy on ensuring that Trump does not get elected again in 2024. It remains to be seen if his efforts will prove to be successful.
