Quote of the Day
Lawmakers who served on the House committee tasked with investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol are vowing that they won’t be silenced after President Donald Trump suggested the pardons his predecessor issued to them are void.
Former Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger, who was one of only two Republicans to serve on the committee and has since left Congress, put his thoughts bluntly.
“Fine. Do it. Or shut up,” he wrote in a post on Substack.
Kinzinger also went on to argue that Trump would not follow up on his threats, calling his latest assertion on the pardons “just another attempt to stoke fear.”
