Kinzinger Calls GOP Standing Ovation for Greene ‘Disappointing by a Factor of 1,000’

Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) is not pleased with the Republican Party after some lawmakers reportedly gave Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) a standing ovation for apologizing for her previous controversial comments.

“It was disappointing by a factor of 1,000… I don’t like to reveal a ton of conference details, but she stood up and kind of gave a bit of contriteness, but then it pivoted to, ‘They’re coming after you next,'” Kinzinger said during an appearance on CNN’s “New Day” Thursday.

He added, “Obviously I had a huge problem with all of that, but the ‘they,’ being the Democrats, I think if you’re not buying into Jewish space lasers and false flag operations and QAnon stuff, to think that they’re just going to come after you next, I think is way a bridge too far.”

Host John Berman pressed Kinzinger on what specifically was disappointing to him.

“To see people at the end of it just be all-in on 👤Marjorie Taylor Greene… I get it, she’s a Republican in your mind and you want to defend her but my goodness, look at what’s been said,” Kinzinger explained.
