Former Illinois Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger appeared in support of Vice President Kamala at the Democratic National Convention on Thursday night, claiming voting for her would be in support of America’s “bedrock values.”
Kinzinger, who previously vowed to support far-Left Democrats if he believed their Republican opponents were “anti-democracy,” claimed that Democrats “are as patriotic” during his speech in support of Harris, who was labeled as the most liberal senator during her time in the Senate.
“I am proud to be in the trenches with you as part of this sometimes awkward alliance that we have to defend truth, defend democracy, and decency,” he said. “I was a Republican for 12 years in Congress and I still hold onto the label. I never thought I’d be here, but listen, you’d never thought you’d see me here, did you.”
He said that Democrats “love this country just as much as we do. And they are as eager to defend American values at home and abroad as we conservatives have ever been.”
The former Republican representative also claimed that the Republican Party is “no longer conservative” while claiming that Harris shares his devotion to the Constitution, rule of law, and democracy.
Much of his speech focused on talking about democracy in religious terms, claiming that it “knows no party” and is a “living, breathing ideal.” He said that the January 6 riot was a “desecration of our sacred tradition.”

He also attacked former President Donald Trump, claiming that he was a “weak man pretending to be strong.”
Harris has been seen as one of the most far-Left candidates to ever run for president, from her close association with Planned Parenthood to her positions on illegal immigration and fracking.
Earlier this week, the Republican National Committee paid for the domain kamala2024policies.com and created a website listing some of Vice President Kamala Harris’ “dangerously liberal policies.”
“Kamala Harris is weak, failed, and dangerously liberal,” the website states. “Not only does Kamala Harris own the weakness, failure, and chaos of the Harris-Biden administration, she is so radical that she makes ‘the Squad’ look like moderates. She wants to abolish our borders, let criminals control our streets, surrender our communities to cartels and a plague of fentanyl, wage war on American energy, and destroy the American Dream.”
