Description

Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger slammed his GOP colleagues, including Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert, for invoking Nazi-era imagery to mock President Joe Biden's latest Covid-19 vaccination efforts. "It's absolute insanity," the Illinois congressman said of his fellow House Republicans' comments in an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union." He went on to say, "This is outrage politics that is being played by my Party and it's going to get Americans killed." "Our Party has been hijacked, my Party has been hijacked. It is on the way to the ground. And for some people, it's a fun ride, right? We can put out this outrageous stuff on Twitter, 'Yeah I'm getting all these retweets and everybody knows me, I'm famous,'" he said. "But this plane is going to crash to the ground." He also urged Republican voters to get vaccinated, saying that Covid-19 "is real" and that the vaccine is safe.
