With his announcement last Friday, the Republican congressman released a video saying his"disappointment in the leaders that don't lead is huge," warning that the nation has reached a perilous moment. "We've allowed leaders to reach power selling the false premise that strength comes from degrading others and dehumanizing those who look, act or think differently than we do," Kinzinger said."As a country, we've fallen for those lies and now we face a poisoned country filled with outrage blinding our ability to achieve real strength."urging Americans to join his Country First movement, which he launched via a political action committee earlier this year.
"Our country is in danger," Kinzinger warned."It's the definition of insanity to believe the leaders who got us into this mess are going to get us out of it." Representative Adam Kinzinger said on Twitter that lies are"standard" under the leadership of former President Donald Trump and Representative Kevin McCarthy.
