Kinzinger: GOP should not control House if party pushes lies and conspiracies
CNN
Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger urged his party to refrain from pushing lies, conspiracies and division on Sunday, saying if its members continue to do so it shouldn't be in control of the House.
"All I can say right now is my party has to embrace truth. We have to have a full reckoning of what happened on January 6 and we have to turn away from conspiracy," Kinzinger, a moderate Republican from Illinois, told CNN's Dana Bash on "State of the Union" when asked whether he thinks voters should trust House Republican leaders with the majority in the next election. "I think if we're going to be in charge and pushing conspiracy and pushing division and pushing lies, then the Republican Party should not have the majority," the congressman said.
