  • I love Mr Kinizinger, he talks so much good sense and he is a True Hero of America. He stands for Democracy and the US Constitution a defender. He is a decent and honest man.
  • It makes perfect sense, Trump picking Vance. Vance repeates Russian talking points and Trump is Putin's puppy.
  • @sevenirises
    As a Democrat, I miss the old Republican party that had good and decent members of Congress like Adam Kinzinger.

    Voting against your own self interest is bananas. “The forest was shrinking but the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood he was one of them.”

    Cannon needs to be dismissed for protecting a convicted felon and obstructing justice.
  • @lieslvista
    Adam, thank you so much for your service and your commitment to the truth.
  • Mr. Colbert and staff. I am grateful for the live shows during this time. The Show is grounding and creating balance. Keep doing what you are doing. Thank you.

    Adam Kinzinger is the best, he calls it like it is regarding the convicted felon and doesn’t mince words. He’s a true American.
  • @someoddpages
    Clarence Thomas told Aileen Cannon to dismiss the case.
  • It's often people who've been inside the cult and escaped that speak the truth
  • Kinzinger is great. He's so clear. I sure hope Trump isn't ever given Presidential Power again. 🇺🇸
  • a great American and fellow Illinoisan. TY for your service!
  • Vote Blue 2024 for Democracy’s sake… 💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙

    We used to read Animal Farm in school-- you know to teach critical thinking. Now people don't send their kids to school. Double speak is real. It's sad to watch what America is becoming.
  • Adam Kinzinger. Thank you for your honesty and courage! VOTE BLUE!

    And yet, he still voted for Trump in both 2016 and 2020. Look, it's better having Kinzinger now than never, and I do think he's showing some measure of courage here. I think even Colbert showed a great deal of grace towards Adam as a guest, letting Adam get a lot said without grilling the man. But are we supposed to just forget that he still helped build Donald Trump as President? It was only four years ago that he was where J.D. Vance is now, cozying up to the MAGA movement. Mistakes are one thing, but his atonement might just be too little too late. Trump had a strong chance to win another term and the first term never should have happened, to start with. Still, somehow, I'm glad that at least someone among what's left of the the Republican Party has some guts to say, "Enough."
