Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) went on a warpath against
Donald Trump’s handling of government funding negotiations, plus the members of his own party perpetuating a “grifting scam” over the president’s 2020 election defeat.
Kinzinger spoke to CNN’s
Dana Bash on
State of the Union, who started by asking about Trump’s veto of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), plus the uncertainty over Congress’ attempts to pass Covid relief. The congressman was asked if he believes there are enough votes to override Trump’s NDAA veto, which led to Kinzinger decrying Trump’s “nonsensical reasons” for blocking it.
“We had way more than two-thirds of the votes to pass this,” he said. “I couldn’t justify if I voted for this bill and voted to sustain the president’s veto instead of override it. I don’t know how you justify that besiding saying ‘I’m just doing what the president wants. ”
