Dem Hypocrisy of Boosting GOP ‘Election Deniers’ While Wailing About Democracy Called Out

Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) may not be conservatives’ favorite Republican at the moment due to his decision to serve on the House Jan. 6 committee.

But he is pretty spot on about the Democrats’ hypocrisy of trying to boost “election deniers” in Republican primaries because they think those candidates will be easier to beat in general elections.

Kinzinger was asked by CNN’s Brianna Keilar what he thinks about the decision to spend money on “election deniers” to hopefully lead to an “easier matchup in the general election.”

“I think it’s disgusting because look, yeah, you think you may have an easier time at winning,” he responded.

He went on, “I’m going to tell you, after January, there are going to be a few of these people…You’re going to have election deniers win. So while I think a certain number of Democrats truly understand that democracy is threatened, don’t come to me after having spent money supporting an election denier in a primary, and then come to me and say, ‘where are all the good Republicans?’ when we’re sitting here playing DNC politics, let’s promote the crazy, and then that person wins, you don’t understand the real threat.”

“I’m sorry, you don’t understand the threat to democracy,” he added.

Over the last year and a half, Democrats have claimed that Republicans pose a threat to American democracy.

But The Washington Post reported earlier this year that several Democratic groups have spent millions on ads to boost Republican candidates who have cast doubts on the 2020 presidential election because they believe they will be easier to beat in November.
