Illinois RepKinzinger took to social media to preview the panel's prime-time hearing, taking aim at former President Donald Trump for watching TV instead of taking stronger action to stop the siege on the Capitol.
Tuesday’s hearing — which Kinzinger is expected to lead, along with Rep. Elaine Luria — is expected to place a strong emphasis on what the former president was doing during the 3 hours and 7 minutes before he called on rioters to go home.
Kinzinger tweeted out a clip showing senior Trump staffers — including former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, former national security adviser to Vice President Mike Pence Keith Kellogg, former presidential executive assistant Molly Michaels, and former White House Counsel Pat Cipollone —testifying that he was watching the violence at the Capitol on TV in the dining room instead of working with officials to address the deadly riot.
