Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
CNN host Anderson Cooper asked Kinzinger whether he would want to be pardoned ahead of a Trump presidency.
“Should President Biden issue pardons for Jan. 6 committee members, including yourself?” Anderson asked.Kinzinger: No. I don't want it.. the second you take a pardon it looks like you are guilty of something and I am guilty of nothing except bringing the truth“No, I don’t want it,” Kinzinger responded. “Because Donald Trump has clearly said he’s gonna go after everybody. And it’s not gonna be for the Jan. 6 investigation. What they’ll do is weaponize other investigations.
“But the second you take a pardon, it looks like you’re guilty of something,” he added. “I’m guilty of nothing besides bringing the truth to the American people.”The former Illinois congressman, who left the House in 2023, has been a vocal Trump critic over the years and delivered a prime-time speech on the final night of the Democratic National Convention in support of Trump’s rival, Vice President Kamala Harris.
“So, no, I don’t want it. And, you know, the bottom line is, I mean, if he wants to bring up Jan. 6 again — we’ve had all this talk about how we’re moving on from Jan. 6, and, trust me, Anderson, I would love to. My life has been defined by this for four years — but if he wants to bring it back, I will happily talk about everything the committee did and learned and reembarrass him,” Kinzinger said.
