GOP rep says his call to invoke 25th Amendment is "the right thing to do for our democracy"
From CNN's Adrienne VogtRepublican Rep. Adam Kinzinger said his calling for the 25th Amendment to be invoked and President Trump to be removed from office is “the right thing to do for our democracy.”
Kinzinger said he’s not sure if any of his GOP colleagues will join him.“We in essence have a President that seems unmoored from reality. We’re getting indications of staff leaving in droves. And I think just for the sake and survival of this moment, it's far bigger than politics. And the 25th Amendment putting Vice President Pence in charge until the President can lead again, which obviously in a short amount of time, probably will not happen, is the right thing to do for our democracy,” he said to CNN’s Erin Burnett.
“I certainly hope that others at least hear what I'm saying and put aside the political moment and realize…history will never judge how we did in the politics, but it will judge how we did in managing the people's business,” he said.
“And yesterday when the President seemed to stir people up at rally when he tweeted after the occupation of the Capitol things that were obviously meant not to fully stop this from happening, it became quite obvious that he cannot be in the position to protect the American people — Republicans, Democrats, everybody in between and outside on the extreme. That is his job, that is our job,” Kinzinger added.
