GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger says there’s a ‘conspiracy cancer’ in the Republican party days after announcing he won’t run for reelection as he bashes Kevin McCarthy for ’embracing Donald Trump’

  • Adam Kinzinger said there is a ‘conspiracy cancer’ within the Republican Party 
  • The Illinois Republican said it’s a losing fight to try and tell the truth in his party when there are forces within contradicting that effort
  • He suggested it’s not worth fighting ‘against the cancer in the Republican Party of lies, of conspiracy, of dishonesty’
  • ‘It’s me, Liz Cheney and a few others that are telling the truth,’ he said. And there are about 190 people in the Republican Party that aren’t going to say a word’
  • Kinzinger bashed Rep. Kevin McCarthy for contributing to the problem in the GOP by ’embracing Donald Trump with all that he can’

Adam Kinzinger said Sunday that there is a ‘cancer’ in the Republican party of conspiracy and dishonesty, claiming he is one of the only GOP lawmakers telling the truth.

The Illinois Republican congressman said it’s a losing fight to try and tell the truth in his party when there are forces within contradicting that effort.

‘You can fight against the cancer in the Republican Party of lies, of conspiracy, of dishonesty,’ Kinzinger told ABC’s This Week. ‘And you ultimately come to the realization that, basically, it’s me, Liz Cheney and a few others that are telling the truth. And there are about 190 people in the Republican Party that aren’t going to say a word.’

‘And there’s a leader of the Republican caucus that is embracing Donald Trump with all that he can,’ he said of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy.

Kinzinger, 43, attacked his own after announcing days earlier that he will not run for reelection in the 2022 midterms and instead try to help people feeling displaced politically.
