Kinzinger: Children of Trump Supporters Will Be 'Ashamed' of Parents
2022-07-24
The kind of opinion everyone is entitled to...
[BREITBART] Representative Adam Kinzinger (R-IL)
...one of a group of NeverTrump Republicans who won’t be running for re-election in November, so he’s been spewing bile in all directions...
said Friday on CNN
...the organization formerly known as the Cable News Network. Now who knows what it might stand for...
’s "Newsroom" that the children of Republicans who supported former President Donald Trump
...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons......
will be ashamed.

Kinzinger said, "I’ve had a lot of anecdotal people call and say like a good friend said my dad was a super MAGA, he hated Adam and loved Donald Trump. He’s all in against Donald Trump because he believes he’s been lied to. But look, yeah, there may be a certain set of voters that will never pay attention. Their kids will."

He added, "I’m going to tell you, I truly believe in my heart in five years, maybe not five but definitely ten, you’re not going to be able to find a single person that admits to supporting or voting for Donald Trump in this country because they’re going to be embarrassed because their kids are going to say, ’You actually supported Donald Trump? Are you kidding me?’ And they’re going to be like, no, no, we didn’t — like trying to find a Nixon supporter a couple of years after he resigned. I got to tell you, your kids, to my fellow Republican congressmen, stand up and speak out, or your kids will be ashamed of having that last name. I’m not saying that to be mean. That’s just a fact."

#14  I'm with KBK on this. I didn't so much vote for Trump, as against Hillary. Likewise Biden. Similarly, I voted for Bushes only when forced to. DeSantis? Don't know enough about him yet. I wish him luck with the shark pack.

#12  I didn't vote for Trump. I voted strongly against Hillary. I was happy enough with what Trump did as president, though it was clear he mismanaged the transition and generally hired poorly. At the end, he should have recognized an impossible situation, backed off, acted presidential, and not damaged his brand.

What I wish he'd do now is talk, in detail, about exactly what the Republican party is doing in the swing states to assure fair future elections. Replaying 2022 and Jan 6 is a loser. If we win Congress in the fall, let them pick up those cudgels and wield them until 2024. We want Trump to lead us back to prosperity, not "win" on the past issues.

#11  Dershowitz said the committee Democrats and two anti-Trump Republicans — Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger — created a clear perception with their performance of being "partisan zealots" rather than truth-seekers.

#10  Ref #3 above.
My liberal daughter, an Army Gulf War vet and a fine human being, has been a captive of the Deep State intel world her entire adult career. Makes great money, married another vet of that exact same environment, and has produced two fine girls, both of whom are now immersed in the same business.

I learned two years ago she taught her girls a list of topics to avoid with grandpa in family gatherings, and to disengage from when they come up for any substantive discussion around me. It seems I am to be dismissed as a beloved, but misguided despite all my achievements, as a radical Archie Bunker style pater familias. All the topics are avoidance of conservative, traditional American values and our actual history, not the snapchat/instagram versions.

To my utter shock, both girls have noted they identify as socialists, an outcome I suspect of James Madison University communications majors and neural implant-like connections to their iphones etc.. .

Given the mind-bending power of social media and our bent university system of late, Kinzinger may actually have a point.

#8  Given the liberal network ratings, they will do great with their dozens of avid fans.

#7  Adam and Liz are auditioning for the liberal networks. It's good money. Since their principal belief appears to be in personal gain, what's the downside?

#5  When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years. - Mark Twain

#4  As they age my children realize how right I have been and ask for more historical perspective.

#3  /\ The key word here is... "adult." You are no longer responsible for their decision making or the pain which it may cause.

Please do not ask me how I know.

Have to have 2 married adult daughters with kids that ceased all contact with us and their brother. Because, we openly support Moral Conservative values, and proper social decorum.

Why? Because it was causing them embarrassment with their social media friends.
