CNS News– Former Representative Adam Kinzinger (R-Illinois) vehemently criticized former President Donald Trump for derogatory remarks made during his Super Tuesday victory speech. Trump referred to the United States as a “third-world country,” sparking outrage from Kinzinger and others.
In a scathing response on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Kinzinger condemned Trump, stating, “Trump just called America a ‘third world’ country. With all due respect (which is none), eat dirt scumbag.” Kinzinger, known for his vocal opposition to Trump, emphasized his belief in the strength and greatness of the United States, labeling Trump as an embarrassment.
Trump’s remarks came during a speech delivered from his Mar-a-Lago estate after winning over 10 primary contests. He highlighted concerns about border security and immigration, likening aspects of the United States to those of a third-world country. Kinzinger, a member of the House committee investigating the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack, has consistently warned of the dangers posed by Trump’s rhetoric and actions.

While acknowledging Trump’s political victory as impressive, Kinzinger expressed reluctance to normalize his wins, particularly in the wake of the Capitol insurrection. Despite Trump’s landslide wins in states like Texas, Kinzinger underscored the significance of addressing the broader implications of Trump’s leadership and rhetoric.
Reflecting on the GOP primary, Kinzinger expressed relief that the field had narrowed, with former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley suspending her campaign. However, he remained steadfast in his opposition to Trump, stating unequivocally that he would support President Biden over Trump in the 2024 election if necessary.
