CNN commentator Adam Kinzinger said Monday in the network's special coverage of the election certification that history will remember January 6, 2021, as an “attempted coup.”
Host Anderson Cooper said: The question is: Will history remember us this way four years from now, or even 40 years from now? Congressman Kinzinger, you were in the House. On this day four years ago, you tweeted at 4:30 p.m. that this was an attempted coup. Do you think history will remember this as it actually happened? ”
Kinzinger said: i will do it. Look, we're in this feeling, Donald Trump lost, and look, he's convincing his base that the election was stolen from him. That built up this intense anger over four years where they truly believed this deep state garbage was going on. He will serve as president for the next four years. He intends to own everything that happens in the economy, everything that happens in the world. The excitement of being “stolen” will eventually wear off. History has an uncanny ability to accurately reflect the events of the day. ”
He added: “So, four years later, putting Donald Trump back in office may seem a bit far-fetched today, but history will not be kind to him.” I'm glad that you featured my tweet. Speaker of the House Johnson tweeted this on January 6, 2021, saying, “I unequivocally condemn all forms of violent protest. The individuals who committed the violence today should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. ”. It's whether Donald Trump becomes president and wants to investigate what happened on January 6th and prosecute the people who disgraced him, or does he want to pardon Speaker Johnson for just four years? This will be an issue when deciding which. They should be prosecuted before. ”
