Summary

Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger dared Donald Trump to press charges against him after Trump claimed Joe Biden’s pardons, including Kinzinger’s, were “VOID” due to being signed with an autopen.

Kinzinger dismissed Trump’s claim as a distraction, pointing out that autopen use is constitutional and has precedent.

He accused Trump of obsessing over January 6 because he was judged guilty in public opinion.

Kinzinger challenged Trump to act rather than make threats, saying, “Bring the charges then… because we will crush you in court.”

    Would it even matter though? The criminality is really obvious as it is. When he said he could shoot someone in Times Square or whatever and not lose support, that was an uncharacteristically lucid, accurate and honest statement.

      Maybe not, but I live in hope that for most people there are lines that not even cult leader can cross.
