Congressman Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) has publicly joined those calling to remove President Trump during his final two weeks in office via the 25th Amendment.

WATCH: 

The Daily Caller’s Andrew Trunsky reports:

“Sadly, yesterday it became evident that not only has the president abdicated his duty to protect the American people and the people’s house, he invoked and inflamed passions that only gave fuel to the insurrection that we saw,” he said in a video. “When pressed to move and denounce the violence he barely did so.”

“I call for the vice president and members of the Cabinet to ensure the next few weeks are safe for the American people, and that we have a sane captain of the ship,” he added.

Kinzinger has been a vocal critic of the president throughout his term and especially in the weeks since he lost to President-elect Joe Biden. He strongly condemned the pro-Trump rioters that stormed the Capitol on Wednesday, laying blame at the hands of Trump and calling their effort a “coup attempt.”

“Here’s the truth: the president caused this. The president is unfit, and the president is unwell. The president must now relinquish control of the executive branch voluntarily or involuntarily,” Kinzinger said.

Kinzinger has become the first congressional Republican to publicly call for invoking the 25th Amendment to remove Trump. Reports last night stated that members of Trump’s Cabinet are considering forcibly removing him from office, too.

    1. Where were the Biden and Harris people demanding antifa and Blm to stop rioting??? Biden was even asked if he made calls to the mayor. Has to work both ways.

      1. Has the Capital Police officer who shot and killed the White Female Air Force Veteran been charged with Murder?…or is that charge reserve only for White Police officers who shoot Black felons resisting arrest???????????????????

        1. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE IN THE RIOTING, MURDER, BURNING CITIES, LOOTINF THAT WAS DONE BY BLM AND ANTIF ABD WHAT WAS DONE BY THE TRUMP SUPPORTERS. NEVER ONCE DID BIDEN TRY CALLING OFF HIS HOUNDS TO STOP THE LOSS OF INNOCENT LIVES AND PEOPLES LIFE INVESTMENTS. WHY DID YOU WANT TRUMP TO CALL OFF SOMETHING HE WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR. JUSTICE HAS TO GO ON THE SCALES AND BE WEIGHED. IF IT DOESNT BALANCE IT ISNT RIGHT. YOU TELL ME WHAT BALANCES HERE OR HAS BALANCED FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS. TRUMP WORKED DAY AND NIGHT WITHOUT SLEEP AND WITHOUT PAY TO TRY TO REBUILD THE AMERICA WE ALL LOVED AND HIS OWN CABINET REVOLTED AGAINST HIM. THAT IS WHY THE REPUBLICAN PARTY CANT GET ANYTHING ACCOMPLISHED. YOU ARE JEALOUS OF EACH OTHER AND CANT WAIT TO DIG YOUR CLAWS INTO SOMEONE AND YOU ARE AFRAID TO DIG INTO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY LEADERS , SO LIKE A WOLF YOU TURN ON YOUR OWN LEADERS. WORDS CANNOT BE HARSH ENOUGH TO TELL YOU WHAT YOU8 ARE AND WHAT THE REST OF THE REPUBLICANS THINK OF YOU. I AM GLAD NONE OF YOU ARE MY RELATIVES. I COULDNT APOLOGIZE ENOUGH FOR YOUR STUPIDITY. THAT INCLUDES OLE CHRISTIAN PENCE THE JUDAS OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

        1. There is no double standard in the Socialist States of America . Agree or leave, if you don’t do one or both, they will prosecute you for SEDITION. The B,,,,,, President – Elect of the SSA has already declared all Trump supporters “Domestic Terrorists”. Since he wasn’t specific, I assume that means all 74+ million of us..

  1. Has he even read the 25th amendment? Obviously not! It’s another attempt at getting his name out there. He has joined the society of the “Deep State”. Tell him to read the 25th amendment.

        1. An FYI – please understand Amen is NOT a ‘word’ to express agreement with what is said. It means “so be it”. Please consider that in your use.

          1. Wrong, please educate yourself and others about amen…amen virtually is stating agreement to an above statement or prayer, indicating “so be it” as a finality to that statement. It expresses solemn ratification or agreement. (See dictionary.com).

      1. BECAUSE ITS EASY TO POINT YOUR LITTLE FINGER AT SOMEONE AND CRY ALLIGATOR TEARS AND YELL “HE DID IT” BUT LOOK AT YOUR HAND, FOUR FINGERS ARE POINTING BACK AT YOU. TO ME THAT MEANS GET YOUR OWN AFFAIRS IN ORDER BEFORE YOU TRY GETTING SOMEONE ELSES IN ORDER.

    1. Mr. Kinzinger, your post is so pathetic I had to respond: #1 The United States of America is NOT a DEMOCRACY #2 Your photo pose is not commanding attention to what you SAY, it reveals you are just so impressed and full of yourself. Please go join the VIEW or one of those TV debacles – at least we have the option to turn you off.

  2. He probably wants to get in on the money laundering deals going on in our congress and senate Just change parties

    1. Yes and that is why they had so much hate for our President cause he wss there pockets full.not letting them get

  3. I will not give up. Evil has infiltrated people everywhere. They are all showing their true colors.

    Our President needs our prayers now more than ever.

    And does that idiot think the left will let him be? HA!

  4. These people still don’t get it. This unrest isn’t about President Trump — it’s about THEM and how they have let us all down by undermining a duly elected President for 4 years and demeaning his supporters every step of the way. They’ve allowed the Dems to run roughshod over our country for far too long and thanks to them, it’s now going to get even worse. They ALL need to be fired!!

  5. What a Rat’s Nest D.C. is. This idiot/traitor is currying favor from Dems who should just as soon have him pulled out of office and replaced by another yup-yup Dem.

  6. He’s a never Trumper and has taken sides in truth he picked the wrong side he’ll be gone come election time in 2 years.

  7. It would take a minimum of 21 days to get President Trump out of office with the 25th amendment, and longer with impeachment. These so called leaders continue to show thier ignorance of both the constitution, and the law. While he’s at it lets call for impeachment of the Democrats that encouraged worse behavior on individual GOP officials in thier homes and when they were even out to eat with family like Maxine Waters. Or the leaders that allowed small businesses , and police stations to be ransacked and burned, but how dare they storm the capital to tell our representatives thier grevances, they are royalty after all.

  8. Everyone is throwing our beloved President under the bus to get in on the D.C. gravy train and to make sure they are listed as being on THAT SIDE…..SO SAD!!!!

  9. We need to start a big movement to get rid of Fake News Media in this country & this corruption will go away in a week, they are the total problem on this country

    1. Hope not. If Independents and Republicans join and fight what God and our Fore-Father’s created for us, a Constitutional Republic we will be fine. If we chose to fight each other we are a lost cause. May God have mercy and grace on the American people who are the victims of this flagrant well organized cheating. But remember, God sees all. God Bless

      1. Democrats pulled off the biggest fraudulent election in the history of the USA. Exactly how will we ever get elected again, friends?

      2. Hiram, the demonRats have control of the Congress, POTUS, DOJ, FBI and Homeland Security. The also control the judiciary and SCOTUS. There is no way you will be able to fight for your rights legally. If the demonRats find out who you voted for, you be lucky to have a jobor be able to apply for a loan of any kind. The corps will take care of that. You have no peaceful or legal way to fight back. The corrupt voting system is now permanent.

  10. I hope everyone who is opening their mouths against Trump; thinking it will make them look better during the next election realizes their political career is finished. We the People, believe in loyalty, trust and honesty. We will remember every one of you, who does not have a backbone and we will be voting for someone other than you.
    Trump is the most sane man I know. He loves God, this country and her people. You say he isn’t upholding his oath to protect the people, this country and the Constitution. I think he has been and still is doing just that.
    The fact that his party is trying to invoke the 25th Amendment just days before he has to leave; tells me they are afraid of him finding out something in those last days, they don’t want him to, and they are trying to throw him out before he finds out this secret and reveals it to the country. Just my opinion.

    1. It won’t matter. It doesn’t matter who you vote for, it only makes who counts the votes. The Constitution is now just a piece of paper in a museun. Your Bill of Rights are gone to the wind. The Justice system will see to that.

  11. Just more deep state trash. We can not allow our country to be drug through more scandal. Trump and our country has been put through enough. It is time to calm down and pray to God to help us survive what is to come.

  12. Another POS RINO.. Where were your balls in backing
    our President. How about the fact all protestors
    should have been detained and their political
    affiliation determined.
    You should do well with the Deep State DemonRATS.

  13. Trump is out in a matter of weeks, but YOU prefer to take a dump on 73m voters?

    Not very bright, are you? Thanks for showing your backside, comrade.

  14. Traitor Kinszinger still in diapers screw you! You and the other traitors have no loyalties to your constituients. You are only about lining your pockets you sorry @#$&#@?!.

  15. He is full of himself. He should be asking questions such as did antifa infiltrate the Trump rally, and he should be concerned about the Real matter at hand, which was that the election appears to be fraudulent in some states. This whole deception took everyone’s eyes off the ball. Possibly planned this way? The corrupt politicians breathed a sigh of relief they didn’t have to worry about declaring the election fraudulent, it was so obvious! These are questions everyone should be asking. Unarmed antifa thugs getting into the capital building that easy, is something that should be considered. Notice how the fraudulent election is now Not the issue anymore? True, Trump should have denounced this alot earlier, but I can’t help but feel how there is a certain manipulation here.

  16. Your a commie pos you should be impeached along with a lot other of your cronies in Washington we are watching your kind

  17. Could not agree with Adam Kinsinger LESS. Does he really think the country is going to take the theft of the election lying down, or ought to? Why isn’t he speaking out about the Democrats’ hell bent determination to block every inquiry and investigation when they should be instead proving their innocence by welcoming any inquiry. Kinsinger’s position is unfathomable.

  18. Why now! Why would a decent person think the man who has done more for this country than any other president ever would approve of viosncr! I don’t think the President is responsible for Antifa or other terrorist groups that stormed the capital after the rally.
    When they were taking over cities and burning everything the could find, the dems said nothing or very little. Quite frankly, I don’t think President Trump’s people would never do something this violent!

  19. How STUPID is STUPID ??? Antifa was there in PLAIN clothes. Ask your FBI and facial recognition.
    You are a Bozo and should resign. You just did NOT get it, did YOU? The Dems did not want the Country (THE PEOPLE) to watch how they lied, cheated and STOLE from us. Glad you are not a general

  20. The people who damaged property at the Capital are NOT Trump supporters. I’m sure that when the truth comes out we will find out that the thugs who committed these crimes are BLM and/or Antifa supporters or just plain trouble makers!

  21. Now is when we find out how many Snakes there are are around That Swamp in DC.And how many. Of them are getting money from China

  22. Now, the Democrat Party caused this when they stole the election. And Congressman, you just went against your oath to protect and defend the Constitution by certifying electors from states that broke federal and state election laws so if anyone should be removed from office it is every Congressman and Senator who voted to certify illegal activity.

  23. Trump is right the election was stolen by Mr. Biden. Biden picked Kalama Harris for the Presidency with checking if she is eligible. One thing is certain she is not a “Natural Born” Citizen, her Birth Certificate shows that neither her mother or father was a citizen when she was born. Both parents were here as students with no intention of immigrating and neither has. She may not even be a citizen of the USA>

  24. So the little squeak thinks by supporting the demonRats, he will gain their support ? No, they will turn on him next election. He has just joined the rino party.
    I will never associate with or do any business with a known demonRat. 75m Trump voter’s can have a devastating effect by maintaining thei values. Then play the same game as they do.
    The repubs have just witnessed the last time they will control congress or win a POTUS. The voting system is so corrupt and now institutionalized that they have zero chance, ever.

  25. Kinzinger is a Total asshole he is from Illinois take a look at that it says volumes about him he does nothing to Quell Rioters all Summer looting killings But trump wanted to stop them . Kinzinger is a ASSHOLE no nothing . that’s is trying as the Squad is doing just put a camera near him he Should be voted out . i will volunteer the next time he is up for election to Help the Person running against him i grew up in Chicago i know idiots like him all my life

  26. Find the names of all the congressmen and women and vote them out next time. I have only one too vote against here because she wanted every body to cave in the dispute . Thing will not go good for the Christian’s who voted against Trump fore the sake of a dollar.

  27. Jealousy is a terrible thing . but Kinzinger he always has something to say hateful and bad about a man like Trump doing good things for the American People . he Would never be able to accomplish

  28. Didn’t these all wise, all knowing Representatives check the news outlets. Antifa, that’s ANTIFA, mixed in with the peaceful “America First” demonstrators to create problems. They are the Ones that broke into the Capital. THEY HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED and VERIFIED. Antifa caused the problems. Let’s not forget how this whole thing started to begin with, VERIFIED FRAUD in Our Elections by the Democrat’s. Over half of the people who VOTED believe their VOTES didn’t count, in other words, they were disenfranchised. I am sorry to see Republicans buy into an attack on President Trump. If you want to buy into the blame game, put the blame where it belongs on the Far Left Leaning Democrats! I am not the only American who believes this. There is just too much evidence to be ignored. So sad to see you misrepresent your constituents and violate your Oath of Office. Hope you didn’t play a career in Politics. We are better off without you and the other Mitt Romney types.

  29. I suppose this nut bag does know how much good Trump did in his 4 years than the Democrats did in 47 years.Peace in the Middle East ,Bringing troops home from long wars.Created the best ecconomy in many years.Got missing miliatary from North Korea and much more.

  30. Adam, you are Idiot, and a fool. Trump will finish his last two weeks in office, and run for Presidency in 2024

  31. Kinsinger isn’t a Republican by any measure. He’s a Pelosi puppet, and will vote however he’s told……I have zero respect for him, and any sell out Republican just looking to suck up just to save their tax payer funded “JOB”. He’s a disgrace to himself and his family.

  32. Amazing nothing burned down, nothing looted, one window broken and this is a a riot, cops shoot to kill, national guard called in, FBI investigating. All other protests were mostly peacefull. No bias at all in news reporting!!

    1. Not going to happen.
    2. Shouldn’t happen.
    3. Tell Rep. Kinszinger to keep his head (or, to keep cool). There will be problems and embarrassments, don’t make them worse.
  33. Before any corrupt politician calls for removing our President there is a list of democrats and republicans that should also be removed. Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, Joe Biden, Chuck Schumer, Mitt Romney, Eric Swallwell and all the other corrupt and anti-American politicians who support China and corrupt and greedy main stream media and big tech ownership. Let’s clean up the swamp before you go after one of the only Patriots we have left in Washington DC

  34. While I don’t agree with what the Protesters did, I do agree with their message. Politicos and the Propaganda Media have dismissed the allegations of Election Fraud/Manipulation, without a thorough Non-Partisan Investigation. In doing such, they’ve failed to uphold their Oath to protect & defend the US Constitution. A good portion of us are pissed, and we should be, because the “Move Along Folks, There’s Nothing To See Here” defense is not a defense, it’s a Cop Out.
    Instead of looking at and listening to how upset a large portion of the country is, and that their desperation drove them to a profound act of disobedience. Their response was to punish by dropping any semblance of listening to their constituents and certified the Electoral College results, because “How Dare You Make Us Shit Our Shorts on National TV.”
    What I witnessed yesterday was the 500+ members of both houses of Congress being exposed as a collection of little Tin Pot Dictators I’ve alway suspected they were.
    Congress, the Media and the Courts have failed to show We the People that Election 2020 was really just Selection 2020 by their failures.

  35. Is there anyone guiltless who can cast the first stone?. Where is the integrity and ethics? Reports out today have a co-responsibility of BLM/Antifa leading the storm of the Capitol. When if ever will the likes of this guy take a knee before picking up a mic?

  36. There needs to be a defined effort to identify and document ALL of the opponents that have taken positions against the Constitution ,the Rule of Law ,the legally elected President , act of treason ,support of “pork” ,open borders and other acts (illegal) and more to make sure that these individuals do not hold a place in our government .>>

  37. In the case of Democrats, this is just hatred of President Trump because he has so damaged the socialist Democrat agenda; in the case of this RINO, this is just political grandstanding.

  38. RHINO Establishment representative. Since he is from Illinois it is highly probable that he is a communist.

  39. Trump did not instigate any riot! The rally was peaceful until a subversive group began being disruptive and inciting riotous behavior. There is evidence that ANTIFA brought at least one busload of instigators and infiltrated the rally in order to do this. Republicans should not be duped into thinking this was a Trump or Trump supporter problem. We should all be smarter than to fall for this garbage and jump on a bandwagon without knowing ALL of the facts!

  40. Hello,
    I am speechless. This is not the US anymore. Wake up people!! Now Trump is being blamed and not is unfit?? Kinszinger – your pockets must be lined too! Trump is the voice for the american people. He is the ONLY President who stands up for us. We all know Antifa is to blame for this nonsense in DC. This is another ploy from the left. Disgusting!! Yes and why didnt Biden and Harris demand that the rioting STOP over the summer? We are not stupid.
    He is still our President for two more weeks. Then we will be called the United States of China!
    Socialism started early last year. It will move quickly to communism… So Scary.
    Signed,
    Always a Trump supporter.

  41. Time to remove kinzinger. He and rino romney make real conservatives sick. Can’t wait for 2022. Rinos are on our list. McConnell and Graham in 24.

  42. Biden, Harris and many democratic officials did next to nothing for months when the outrageous BLM, Antifa thugs and other liberals protested and destroyed buildings and shot cops and other people until their popularity started to slip. They insinuated they were protesting for a just cause. Many of the protestors were jailed and their bail money was paid by democrates and others and they were set free! Unfortunately, the lawless precedent was set months ago! Now the DEMS are screaming for justice- what hypocrisy. Pres. Trump had the right to tell his followers that they should go to the Capital to petition to have their voices heard. That is the American way. Nothing wrong with that. Unfortunately, like many other peaceful rallies there were agitators that brought the rally to a level of chaos. There is speculation that many of these agitators were Antifa thugs who have the reputation of interfering. So, until the facts are all out let’s not have the liberals and media jump to conclusions that the mob-type actions were solely executed by Trump supporters. Very doubtful, nor would they plant bombs solely at the RNC! That is NOT their style nor would they shoot the ones that would be helping their cause!! For the tens of thousands that were there it was only a small number in comparison that played out another agenda. It is quite shocking that the Capital did not have more security having full knowledge of a massive crowd coming to DC. After all, DC is used to constant marchers for one cause or another. Also, the Capital police seamed very complacent when the first set of rioters marched into the Capital and did not appear to hold them back with any force. Why? Bottom line, what is good for the goose is good for the gander. You either have the same strict rules and punishments about law and order for all people or you will never have a united country.

  43. Eff kinzinger…RINO deep stater who betrayed the tea party and the American people! Primary his sorry, traitorous ass!

  44. Adam Kinzinger is another rhino with no idea how the 25th amendment evolves. He is like all other sheep and liberals. They all want Trump out of office at all cost because he is not part of the Washington cheats and elites and knows too much about the corruption of many who will have to lie and stick together so they will not go to jail. It would be like a domino affect if a few prominent people started to fall and they cannot let that happen. Unfortunately, Americans have been asleep at the switch for decades and only now are many realizing how badly the American people have been treated and cheated. The Deep Swamp leaders are too entrenched with other world leaders and countries to change the US and the world at large to a “New World Order”, a new term for governmental control and communism. The “Make America Great Again” movement will continue for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness!

  45. Welcome to the United States of Venezuela! BLM and Antifa are good with all the looting and such….I am through with the RNC and most of them were behind this impeachment of President Trump.

  46. I wonder if this idiot RINO is aware that the people have been fed lies for way too long now, and they were fed up enough to do something about it. I sincerely doubt that President Trump called on these folks to gather en masse to destroy the Capital. This clown, like so many other RINO’s, are probably positioning themselves for a job with the incoming administration, or at least, playing nice with them in order to get something in return. He’s obviously one of the swamp dwellers. He can get in the lifeboat with Benedict Pence.

  47. We the people of America do not and will not be a part of this new administration we need to stand united and show all those what ever you want to call them scumbags seems to nice that they broke every oath and law .we need to establish our selves united get signatures and take it as high as the Supreme Court never say never remember our tax paying dollars are linning their pockets We the people. We the people lets start signing .Impeach everyone of them

  48. Hold up on that idea, it’s total nonsense to invoke the 25th Amendment on President Trump, however, it will soon be necessary once Biden gets in, Pelosi will probably introduce the notion herself. Either way no good will come of it of course. Kamala President? God Forbid.

  49. Why doesn’t RINO Kinszinger just join the Democratic party so we don’t have to deal with his Democratic butt kissing antics. Phony traitor….

  50. Impeach this pos making these claims. This election must have paid high wages. Everyone is full of crap. Lying with the dogs. Over half of the Republicans wouldn’t stand with the President. There all worthless people.

  51. The Democrats are terrified of Trump. They are doing what they always do to about who disagrees with their Socialist agenda. They smear, deny, and dismiss them. If that doesn’t work they send out their ANTIFA/BLM Stormtroopers to intimidate them. China has just arrested all those who led the Hong Kong democracy movement, to shut them up. Democrats/Communists are now trying to do the same to Trump and his supporters. Democrats know that even if Trump is not president, he and his supporters will vote for those who Trump supports. He will be the ultimate “King Maker” and that scares the hell out of the Democratic Communist leaders. To silence Trump is the last thing they need to make the conservatives, who would become leaderless, kneel before Biden…

  52. I didn’t hear you complain about all the violence from the left ALL year! Pathetic!! The police were told to stand down then while they threw rocks at them and burned police cars, looting and destroying stores, so you were fine with that? I hope you don’t get elected to public office ever again!!

  53. You all are scum.. President Trump has done more than any of you all. You want to destroy him because you are embarrassed because he has done what is right. You all did nothing while you watched BLM and Antifa murder people and destroyed people’s businesses and and lives. Never were charged with anything. You will never be considered or an honorable person. YOU ALL ARE AN EMBARRASSMENT.

  54. That has to be one of the dumbest crooks in history to say some shit like that after all of the corruption that took place in the election if there is anyone that needs to be removed from office its him and his dumbass ass girlfriend Nancy

  55. Let President Trump go as you have all the ones who have committed crimes in the last 5 years trying to destroy him. The blame is on the ones who committed the crimes as they are adults. The FBI, the State Department, Commie, McCabe, Pelosi tearing up his SOTU speech, Clinton and her crimes, they are the ones who divided our country and caused the march on DC! But those are the protected class and they are now the ones turning our country into a China where freedom of speech is nonexistent. The swamp was too big to drain. Big tech is in control. Kinzinger, change to a Democrat.

  56. We really have to vote out some of these “establishment Republicans as well as democrats- if our vote even means anything anymore.

  57. This MORON is NOT a Republican. He is a Democrap LYING that he is a Republican. He must be pals with Graham and McConnell.

  58. It is very clear, that this individual fits well into a Pelosi Congress. He obviously did not actually hear what the President said, which is excellent training for this Congress. They vote without reading the Bill in front of them. I did not check his vote on the latest Omnibus bill they call a budget, but will bet you he voted for it. The President, in the middle of his speech, clearly told the thousands of marchers to do so peacefully. There needs to be a full investigation by the FBI, but somehow I don’t think anyone that is not a Trump supporter will appear in the investigation. Even if they do, it will not be reported in the MSM. I think, Andy Ngo has already identified a few ANTIFA members.

  59. The President will have his day & when that day comes, your gonna eat every word………at that point you need to be concerned if you still have a job in Congress or your flipping burgers at your local burger joint.

  60. Adam can ginger needs to be removed from Congress completely he has nothing more than a puppet he’s a liar he’s a thief he is not for the American people he has deceived and lied to all of us he needs to be removed
