Photo: Al Drago/Bloomberg via Getty Images Adam Kinzinger was one of ten House Republicans to vote to impeach Donald Trump over his incitement of the January 6 attack on the Capitol, and for that he was personally attacked by Trump, censured by Republican activists in his Illinois district, and even denounced by members of his own family . Yet the six-term congressman and Air Force veteran isn’t bothered. He spoke to Intelligencer about why he launched a political-action committee to defend Republicans such as himself and move his party back toward the mainstream, and he made a bold prediction: Trump will fade away. Since you’ve gotten started with Country First , what’s the response been like? It’s been really good. And I’ll tell you, I’ve had a lot of names I can’t say, but a lot of people, big names that just call me saying “Thanks.” And it’s like the kind of people that it’s surprising but also that’s great.

Biden Commerce Sec. Gina Raimondo: Trump’s Steel Tariffs Were ‘Effective’
Appearing Thursday on MSNBC, Biden Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo said former President Donald Trump’s tariffs on cheap steel and aluminum have been “effective.” A partial transcript is as follows: STEPHANIE RUHLE: To clarify two things that you said you mentioned: dumping cheap steel and aluminum. Former President Trump then put tariffs on those things being imported into this country. Do you plan to keep those tariffs in place? SEC. GINA RAIMONDO: The data show that those tariffs have been effective. And I think what President Biden has said is we’re going to have a whole-of-government review of all of these policies and decide what it makes sense to maintain. RUHLE: From a national security perspective, do you plan to target specific businesses like a TikTok, like a Huawei? Which again, President Trump got a lot of credit, talked a big game, but if you actually look at what he did, it really wasn’t anything. SEC. RAIMONDO: Yes, like you … [Read more...] about Biden Commerce Sec. Gina Raimondo: Trump’s Steel Tariffs Were ‘Effective’
Scarborough Goes Off On ‘Trump Terrorists’ After House Session Is Canceled Over Security Concerns
MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough ripped into “Trump terrorists” Thursday after the House session was canceled due to security concerns at the U.S. Capitol. House leadership announced that legislative business would be shut down for the week on Wednesday after Capitol Police reported a possible threat from a militia group. The Senate, however, has not canceled its session. “Not a surprise that these terrorists that attacked on 1/6 inspired other future terrorists,” Scarborough said. “Especially when you have them possibly coming in and the chatter is about stolen elections, election fraud.” (RELATED: ‘Drag All Of These People Into Prison’: Joe Scarborough Wants 20-Year Sentence For Everyone Who Got Inside Capitol) WATCH: Scarborough also went after former President Donald Trump for “stirring up that big lie” at the Conservative Political Action Conference ( CPAC ) during his speech on Sunday.
