Kinzinger, who voted to oust Trump in the House last month, noted that “virtually all” of his Republican counterparts considered the procedures for ousting the lower house to be “a waste of time: a distracting political theater. the biggest problems “.
“The overwhelming majority of Republicans in the Senate seem to feel the same way in the condemnation,” Kinzinger wrote in a post Monday in the Washington Post.
The Illinois Republican added that “This is not a waste of time. It is a matter of accountability. If the Republican Party does not position itself, the chaos of the last few months and four years could return quickly. our party and our country depends on facing what happened, so it doesn’t happen again. “
House lawmakers voted last month to pass a dismissal article accusing Trump of inciting violence against the federal government amid the deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
Ten House Republicans joined Democratic lawmakers in favor of accusing Trump a second time during his one-term term.
The trial for Trump’s removal from the Senate will begin Tuesday.
“The immediate cause of Trump’s ouster was January 6,” Kinzinger wrote in the opinion. “But the president’s concentration and the resulting riot on Capitol Hill did not come out of nowhere. They were the result of more than four years of anger, outrage and outright lies. Perhaps the most dangerous lie – or at least the most recent – was that they stole the election. Of course, it wasn’t, but a large number of Republican leaders encouraged the belief that they did. Every time this lie was repeated, the riots of January 6 were more likely.
“The dismissal offers the opportunity to say that it is enough. It should force all Americans, regardless of party affiliation, to remember not only what happened on January 6, but also the path that led there, ”Kinzinger wrote, adding that listened to thousands of members who supported his vote to accuse the former president.
The Illinois lawmaker also stated that the United States “will never move forward ignoring what happened or refusing to hold those responsible accountable.”
