Illinois GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger has become one of the most vocal critics of former President Donald Trump and his allies, often pushing back against his colleagues’ talking points. His latest pushback follows the claims made by his pro-Trump colleagues regarding door-to-door campaigns for vaccinations.
Over the weekend, Kinzinger hit back on his Republican colleagues over their criticism of the Biden administration’s strategy to get more people vaccinated against COVID-19. The Illinois congressman also encouraged his followers to ignore the conspiracy theories being floated around by members of his party and get vaccinated. Kinzinger’s tweet follows posts by GOP Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Andy Bigg wrote an open letter arguing against the Biden administration’s strategy to get more Americans vaccinated.
“Republican Outrage of the Week - “door to door” vaccines. OH NO. All these “tough guy” politicians pretending this is a real threat all do door-to-door campaigning. It’s so nice to live so comfortably that this is what consumes us and not real problems. Get vaccinated,” tweeted Kinzinger.
The letter by Greene and Biggs claims that US President Joe Biden’s door-to-door approach is a violation of privacy. North Carolina GOP Rep. Madison Cawthorn even went as far as to claim the initiative would be the first step for the administration to take away guns and bibles. Kinzinger also pushed back against Texas GOP Senator Ted Cruz, who also criticized the initiative.
“Nothing is a bigger wake up call than we are on the verge of communism than an increase of convenient options to get vaccinated. Ted maybe just focus on recommending vaccinations and not spewing outrage,” Kinzinger tweeted.
Kinzinger is also one of the two Republicans who recently voted in favor of forming a select committee that will investigate the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol. Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney also voted in favor and was appointed by Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to the committee. The Illinois Republican lawmaker criticized one of his colleagues last week over their refusal to shake the hand of a Capitol Police officer that was injured during the insurrection.
In his appearance on CNN, Kinzinger criticized Rep. Andrew Clyde, who ran away from injured officer Michael Fanone when approached. Fanone attempted to have a discussion with Clyde about the injuries he suffered during the riots. Kinzinger said Clyde’s decision to run away from Fanone came as a result of his dedication to pushing Trump’s “big lie” of election fraud.
