Former Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger has suggested that the MAGA movement is to blame for the second assassination attempt against Donald Trump on Sunday evening.
While the full picture is still emerging, it is now clear that Trump was targeted by a Democrat Party supporter with a long criminal history and obsession with Ukraine.
Posting on the X, Kinzinger said the MAGA movement had lit the fire that led to violence aimed at the former president.
“Look violent rhetoric is wrong, and has no place,” he wrote. “But MAGA pretending they didn’t light this fire is gaslighting to the 100th power. Since Trump showed up our politics has gone to crap. Literally just accused a group of people of eating our pets. So stop.”

A representative for Illinois, Kinzinger definitely turned on Donald Trump following the January 6th protests and, like his fellow RINO traitor Liz Cheney, was forced to step down from Congress in disgrace.
He has since become an active Democrat Party activist, even giving a speech endorsing Kamala Harris at the recent DNC in Chicago.
Adam Kinzinger, a former Republican congressman, says at the DNC that Donald Trump “has suffocated the soul of the Republican Party.”
