Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) is suggesting former President Donald Trump was getting his “monthly dose of adoration” when he spoke at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) over the weekend.
“It looked like somebody that just needed his monthly dose of adoration in front of a crowd,” Kinzinger said during an interview on CNN’s “New Day” Tuesday morning. “So, I really was bored.”
“I think if was the first time we heard Donald Trump speak it would be shocking…but…he had no new ideas.”
Kinzinger was asked if he ever worries that he is the “outsider” of the Republican Party, to which he responded, “Yeah, that is a worry. It’s not a worry because I’m worried about my future.”
The lawmaker noted what he is worried about is if “that is where the party is” with the crowd at CPAC, then “the party’s in real trouble.”

Kinzinger was previously sent a scorching letter from 11 family members expressing their disapproval of his breaking with Trump. He called to remove Trump from office after the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
