Adam Kinzinger Has Defiant 3-Word Response To Trump’s Jail Threat | EUROtoday
Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) informed Donald Trump to “bring it on” after the president-elect stated members of the House committee that investigated the Trump-incited U.S. Capitol riot “should go to jail.”
Kinzinger, a fierce and yearslong critic of Trump, was on the panel whose findings accused the returning POTUS of intentionally plotting to overturn his 2020 election loss to Joe Biden.
Trump’s menace, although, is “nothing more than the desperate howl of a man who knows history will regard him with shame,” Kinzinger wrote within the newest challenge of his Substack e-newsletter.
“Let me be clear: we did nothing wrong,” the ex-lawmaker added, noting how the committee “was driven by facts, the Constitution, and the pursuit of accountability—principles that seem foreign to Trump.”

“If Donald wants to pursue this vindictive fantasy, I say bring it on,” Kinzinger added, urging Trump to “go ahead and try to rewrite history” as a result of “the evidence speaks louder than your words.”
Kinzinger concluded the essay writing, “We aren’t afraid of the truth, but I suspect you are.”
Following Trump’s 2024 election victory over Democratic rival Kamala Harris, Kinzinger adopted a equally defiant tone saying he’s “absolutely, resolutely unafraid of” him, regardless of his staunch opposition over time.
“He builds his whole image around being ‘strong,’ ‘tough,’ a supposed champion of the ‘common man,’” Kinzinger stated final month. “But strength doesn’t come from endless bullying, degrading insults, or an ability to throw temper tantrums every time he doesn’t get his way. That’s not strength; it’s weakness.”
