Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) told CNN he feared for the future of the country if Donald Trump isn’t charged and convicted for his actions related to the Capitol insurrection.
Said Kinzinger: “If he is not guilty of a crime, then I frankly fear for the future of this country, because now every future president can say, ‘Hey, here’s the bar.’ And the bar is do everything you can to stay in power.”
