@pbsnews: Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger, a Republican from Illinois, spoke against his own party Thursday, saying former President Donald Trump has "suffocated the soul of the Republican party.” He endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris. Shortly before Harris accepted her party’s nomination for president, Kinzinger took the stage to say “the Republican Party is no longer conservative." "It has switched its allegiance from the principles that gave it purpose to a man whose only purpose is himself. Donald Trump is a weak man pretending to be strong. He is a small man pretending to be big. He's a faithless man pretending to be righteous. He's a perpetrator who can't stop playing the victim," he said. Kinzinger, a veteran who served 12 years in Congress, said that Harris shared an "allegiance to the rule of law, the Constitution and democracy, and she is dedicated to upholding all three in service to our country.” #pbsnewshour #pbsnews #newshour #dnc #republican #nevertrump #donaldtrump #trump #vote2024 #vote #2024election #presidentialelection #kamalaharris #harris #harriswalz #conservative #voter #independent #congress #constitution #democracy #republicanparty

I used to be a republican, but when he came around…seeing his past, hearing his views, seeing his outlooks, I would not stand on that side.

Conservative principals have always been hurting some to enrich others.

As a Democrat, I have nothing against Republicans. It's the current "president" and his supporters that I can't stand with... this is all becoming too much and something needs to be done to stop this!

Trump must be removed from office. He is mentally unstable and morally corrupt. Only the GOP Congress can save us now, but they don't have to do it alone. Democrats, quietly reach out and gather votes

Not part of the two party system here but respect for this standing! It’s a dangerous game right now. Keep standing out and being an example.
