Adam Kinzinger: It's Starting to Happen

Like that doesn't happen. What is going to happen is there's going to be grassroots energy that rises up that begins to build whatever this movement is that it looks like. But that's how, when you have historical things that change a country, it never comes from one person giving somebody a blueprint. It always comes from like just this outrage or this anger and this demand for change.

And I think we started to see that yesterday at this Georgia town hall. And, uh, I, I, I don't know. I just feel like we're at a moment where this is going to and can grow into something. And again, I do want to stress, don't make this a left-wing thing because it'll flame out. Trust me, they always do. Make this about pro-democracy and defending our government.

Oh, gosh. Huge. Huge. Listen, I mean... You know, there's always this feeling we talk about how, you know, the voices on the far right, like the anti-Ukraine voices, they're outrepresented on Twitter, for instance, and it seems like they're everywhere. This is the same kind of dynamic where all of a sudden you're in a red district, 75% red district.

There is not a single person out there, unless you're a psychopath that just loves that, and there are a few people like that, but there's not a real person out there that's gonna stand in front of that, get yelled at, get screamed at, make national news for not having an answer like Rich McCormick didn't, and then say, you know what, we gotta go do that again.

Let's do that again next month, right? No, what happens is you quit doing town halls. Now people continue to be outraged more because you're hiding from them. And this is what builds over a one to two year period. And look, I've been protesting at town halls. I'm going to tell you, it sucks. I also know, and for me, it was like, why are we doing these town halls then? Right.
