Adam Kinzinger Spots Why GOP Is So Afraid Of Contentious Town Halls

LOADING ERROR LOADING Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger shared his insight on what might be coming for Republicans whose angry constituents are slamming them over their support for President Donald Trump amid his second term. Kinzinger later took to X, formerly Twitter, where he urged Americans to “keep up the demands” for town halls to hold Republicans accountable as it “really is making them nervous.” The Tea Party movement sparked protests back in 2009 in response to policies during then-President Barack Obama’s first term. Kinzinger, in his CNN appearance, recalled facing criticism at Tea Party meetings where he was asked why both he and Obama were “shredding the Constitution.” Over recent weeks, Republicans have been hit with rage from constituents at chaotic town hall events amid billionaire Elon Musk’s chainsaw-like attitude toward federal agencies and Trump’s trade war with foreign countries, including America’s neighbors. At a contentious town hall meeting highlighted by CNN on Thursday, U.S. Army veteran Jay Carey was escorted out after he shouted down Rep. Chuck Edwards for not giving a “fuck” about him.
