Republican Congressman: Trump's rally in Ohio was of ‘a loser president’
Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger has dismissed former US President Donald Trump's rally in Ohio over the weekend as a gathering of people to support "a loser president."
"It was a rally of a loser president. I mean, he's the first president to lose reelection in decades," Kinzinger told CNN on Sunday evening. "I don't know why these people would go there and in essence ogle at and in many cases just sort of worship a loser."
At his first rally on Saturday in Wellington, Ohio after losing his reelection to the current president, Joe Biden, Trump repeated his claims of widespread voter fraud and that the 2020 election was "rigged" against him.
Trump described Biden as incompetent and beholden to the far-left forces in the Democratic Party.
"After just five months, the Biden administration is already a complete and total catastrophe. I told you," Trump told the crowd.
"We won the election twice, and it's possible we might have to win it a third time," he added, hinting at a possible 2024 White House bid.
Kinzinger, one of Trump's most vocal critics in Congress, called it "frightening" that many Americans believe what the former president has been saying about the election and a possible reinstatement.
"They don't take people telling them otherwise," Kinzinger said. "You can take me and [Rep.] Liz Cheney ... and if it's just us, you can demonize us and say we're the aberration and we are right now, but we're telling the truth."
Kinzinger were among several House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump for inciting violence against the government.
The US Capitol building on January 6 this year came under attack from the thousands of supporters of Trump over the disputed 2020 presidential election result.
Trump claimed that the election was rigged by the Washington establishment in favor of Biden. According to recent surveys, most Republicans still believe that the election was stolen from Trump, and he is the legitimate president of the United States.
