Former Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois has made it clear that he has “no fear” regarding a potential second term for former President Donald Trump. In a bold statement shared on social media, Kinzinger took aim at the narrative pushed by Trump supporters, particularly those in the MAGA movement, claiming that his opponents are somehow intimidated by the prospect of Trump’s return to office.
“Let me be clear about something. I have absolutely no fear of Trump. Honest to God,” Kinzinger wrote. “This idea that his opponents are scared is just part of the narrative MAGA wants to push. The truth is, we are reinvigorated,” he added, asserting his belief that those who oppose the former president are not cowering in fear, but instead more determined than ever.
Kinzinger, who has become a vocal critic of Trump over the years, was a key member of the House Select Committee that investigated the events surrounding the January 6th Capitol riot. His outspoken stance against Trump has earned him both admiration from anti-Trump conservatives and backlash from the former president’s loyalists. As Trump campaigns for a second term, some critics have raised concerns about his potential actions in office, including threats of using military force against those who challenge his authority. However, Kinzinger remains unfazed by these threats.
Earlier in the day, Kinzinger posted another message reaffirming his resolve, claiming that Trump himself is “weak” and “scared.” He urged his followers not to be intimidated by Trump’s supporters, calling them “just as weak” as their leader. “We will just be ready to pick up the pieces,” he wrote, emphasizing that those who stand against Trump’s vision will continue to fight for their principles, no matter the challenges ahead.
While Kinzinger’s comments are likely to be divisive among conservatives, his message is clear: The fear of a Trump resurgence is not one that he, or many others who oppose him, are willing to succumb to. Instead, they are ready to stand firm, no matter the political landscape.
