Former Illinois Republican congressman Adam Kinzinger appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Monday evening and declared that he would be willing to go to prison on principle if Donald Trump chooses to persecute him once he returns to the White House.
Kinzinger – who along with Liz Cheney served on the bipartisan House committee that investigated the events of January 6 2021, earning them the lasting enmity of the MAGA wing of the Republican Party – was guesting on the fourth anniversary of the Capitol riot as the president-elect’s November election win over Democrat Kamala Harris was certified by Congress.
