Former Republican congressman-turned-Democrat-endorsing CNN talking head Adam Kinzinger joined former Today co-host and CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric on her Next Question podcast to discuss President Donald Trump. During their interview, Kinzinger would lob off Nazi comparisons, bizarre hypotheticals, and long for a version of the pre-Trump good old days that never actually existed.
As he was discussing Kilmar Abrego Garcia's deportation to a Salvadorian prison, Kinzinger suggested he may not be far behind in terms of people whose rights are at risk, “Each step in and of itself is not enough to be outrage to the point of take to the streets in general and general strike, right? But in cumulation they are, and when you say to somebody, ‘We’re not gonna to due process for this bad person,’ Well, next thing it’s okay, ‘we’re not gonna do due process, because we did it for the bad guys, for the people that are here illegally. And then, well, there are enemies of the state, and I get it, they're American citizens, but you know they were Palestinian rallies or whatever. And then next it’s Adam Kinzinger, ‘Well, he's a RINO, and he went against the president.’”
What is about media “conservatives,” Trump, and strikes? Still, Kinzinger moved on to the regularly scheduled Nazi comparison, “I don’t want to make comparisons to Nazi Germany, but in this case it’s a good example, which is, if in 1935 they'd have opened concentration camps, the German public would have rebelled. But if you just boil the frog to the point where you open it in and of itself, you get yourself to a point where it's not outrageous enough.
