Michael KnowlesIf Andrew Cuomo gets an Emmy, Adam Kinzinger deserves an Oscar. Whether motivated by a pin prick in his pocket or mere imaginary circumstance, the Illinois congressman gave a waterworks performance that might have put Shamu to shame during Tuesday’s opening hearing of the “January 6th Commission,” on which Kinzinger and his colleague Liz Cheney make up the only Republicans.
“Like most Americans,” the congressman bawled, “I’m frustrated that six months after a deadly insurrection breached the United States Capitol for several hours on live television, we still don’t know exactly what happened.” Kinzinger seems to know less than most people. If he knew that prosecutors have not charged a single Capitol trespasser with seditious conspiracy, he could not continue to call the event an “insurrection.” If he knew that only Ashli Babbitt, a Trump supporter in the Capitol, died a violent death there that day, he would have to redirect his “deadly” slur from the mob to the cops whom he spent the afternoon praising.
