Former Illinois Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger served on the House Select Committee on January 6 and recently published a book, Renegade: Defending Democracy and Liberty in Our Divided Country, in which he warned that if failed ex-president Donald Trump is elected in 2024, it will be the end of the American republic.
Now, however, Kinzinger is telling something about Trump that is absolutely guaranteed to enrage the former guy: Donald stinks. Literally.
Here’s what Kinzinger tweeted out over the weekend:
I’m genuinely surprised how people close to Trump haven’t talked about the odor.
It’s truly something to behold. Wear a mask if you can

Kinzinger isn’t the only person who has brought up the stench that surrounds Trump.
“The Donald has a distinct smell that doesn’t really get enough press, it’s like body odor with kind of like a scented makeup products. But you can smell the hair products even outdoors.”
Kinzinger’s tweet set off a wave of discussion regarding Donnie’s smell on social media.
Former Illinois Republican Adam Kinzinger is calling out Twitter CEO Elon Musk for repeatedly telling lies about the horrific attack on Paul Pelosi, the husband of former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, and he’s making sure to bring the receipts incase Musk wants to deny his remarks.
The Independent reports that Kinzinger went after Musk shortly after police bodycam video of the Pelosi attack was made public on Friday.
The graphic clip showed a suspect identified as David DePape, 42, wildly strike the 82-year-old husband of Nancy Pelosi over the head at his San Francisco home on 28 October last year.
“There is a tiny possibility there might be more to this story than meets the eye,” Mr Musk tweeted, before quietly deleting the post days later.
Shortly after that bodycam footage was released, Kinzinger posted on Twitter:
“Hey @elonmusk care to react to the Pelosi video? You spread the big conspiracy.”
Hey @elonmusk care to react to the Pelosi video? You spread the big conspiracy…
— Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇮🇱 (@AdamKinzinger) January 27, 2023
That led Musk to respond that he was merely attacking media outlets for “misleading the public.”
But Kinzinger was far from finished with Musk, and he laid out the receipts proving the Twitter boss was lying his ass off, along with members of the GOP who consider Musk to be a hero.
Thanks Seattle Times for this list of people who made fun of Paul Pelosi. Hold them accountable: pic.twitter.com/XF4p24yX7G

Twitter has gone to shit since Elon Musk took over. Now he’s trying to rewrite history to serve his own purposes. But thanks to people like Adam Kinzinger, he won’t be allowed to.
If perhaps you were wondering exactly what sort of person Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) is, there’s no one better to ask than someone who has worked around him and with him for years.
That’s where former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) comes into the picture, making it clear that McCarthy is a pathetic excuse of a human being, afraid, unprincipled, and utterly incapable of doing anything good for anyone but himself.
Speaking with Charlie Sykes on The Bulwark podcast, Kinzinger noted:
“Kevin’s a piece of shit. And let’s just be honest about this, because he will say whatever he needs to say to stay in power. I’m not even saying that gratuitously to be mean to him. It’s just a fact.”
If you doubt that, consider news that broke yesterday regarding McCarthy’s willingness to try and expunge failed, one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump’s two impeachments, with The Washington Post reporting:
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said Thursday that he’s willing to take a look at expunging an impeachment of former president Donald Trump by the Democratic-led House. … Asked at a news conference about the prospect of an expungement now that Republicans control the House, McCarthy said, “I would understand why members would want to bring that forward.”
Asked about the matter of Rep. George Santos (R-NY), Kinzinger said McCarthy won’t make a move to expel him from Congress for his endless lies about his past and personal history, explaining, “Kevin needs his vote. If this was a 20 vote majority, he’d throw Santos under the bus, but it’s a five-vote so he needs him.”
"Kevin's a piece of shit. And let's just be honest about this, because he will say whatever you need to say to stay in power." — @AdamKinzinger "I'm not even saying that gratuitously to be mean to him. It's just a fact." Listen to the whole thing here: https://t.co/jQhbh1IrtRpic.twitter.com/Pp5x1Qy9T1
Of course, it’s not just McCarthy who’s a massive piece of excrement. 99% of the GOP House caucus is just as gutless and soulless as the Speaker. They all need to be replaced, but so many of them are from heavily gerrymandered districts that they’re virtually unbeatable.
Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) said Sunday that even if House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) does indeed become Speaker of the House in the next Congress, he won’t last very long because he’ll be hostage to the most extreme elements of the Republican caucus.
Appearing on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Kinzinger was asked by host Jake Tapper what kind of Speaker he thought McCarthy would be, to which the Illinois Republican replied:
“If you had asked me five years ago, I would have said a pretty good one. Now, I think he has cut so many deals with bad people to get to this position that I think he’s not going to be a leader.”
Kinzinger then elaborated on his prediction:
“I think he’ll be completely hostage to kind of the extreme wings of the Republican Party. And I frankly don’t think he’s going to last very long, Maybe he’ll prove me wrong but it’s sad to see a man that I think had so much potential just totally sell himself. He’s the one that resurrected Donald Trump. The second he went to Mar-a-Lago a week or two after Jan. 6, he resurrected Donald Trump politically. So he owns everything that Trump says now.”
Indeed, McCarthy has sold what was left of his soul to the most extreme elements of the GOP, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who is expected to get assignment on a couple of the most powerful committees in Congress, Judiciary and Oversight.
Kevin McCarthy is about to find out that when you make a deal with the devil, your soul gets lost in the transaction. Provided that McCarthy had a soul in the first place.
If Republicans win control of the House of Representatives in the upcoming midterm elections, they have plans to punish two GOP members of the House Select Committee investigating the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol, Reps. Liz Cheney (WY) and Adam Kinzinger (IL).
According to a report from CNN, Republicans would likely use the House Judiciary Committee to target those they feel didn’t agree to lie and obfuscate for failed, one-term former president Donald Trump:
The GOP’s growing desire to craft a counternarrative on January 6 — and shift the blame away from Trump — comes as the former President is gearing up to soon announce another White House bid. Pursuing that effort could also be politically advantageous for McCarthy, whose expected bid for speaker would be made easier with support from Trump. The former President has sometimes criticized the California Republican over how he has handled the GOP’s defense of Trump during the select committee’s investigation.
Republicans might even try to create their own Jan. 6 committee in a pathetic attempt to spread the “big lie” Trump has suggested proves that the 2020 election was stolen from him, even though he has yet to provide a shred of evidence other than conspiracy theories and right-wing talking points while also punishing Cheney and Kinzinger for daring to serve on the current bipartisan panel:
Republicans have already asked the January 6 panel to preserve a broad range of documents in its possession — a signal they’re preparing to force those records to be turned over should they wield powerful committee gavels next year. And privately, Republican sources say there have been discussions about subpoenaing members of the select committee, particularly Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, who is fighting an uphill battle for reelection, and retiring Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, if both Republicans are private citizens next year.
In other words, rather than doing anything worthwhile if they happen to win control of the House, the GOP will engage in behavior better suited for children. It’s proof-positive that every last Republican needs to be voted out of office in order to save our democracy.
