Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) is definitely feeling disturbed by the violent reactions of Donald Trump’s supporters, many of whom have voiced rage over the FBI raid on the former president’s home.

In an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, he said he found their reactions “creepy” and said he believes the Republican Party is in a “bad place.”

It’s been just over a week since the FBI executed a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s Palm Beach, Florida home, seeking out classified documents that the former president was supposed to turn over to the National Archives as he left office. In the aftermath, some of the more radical conservatives have voiced anger over the raid, Mediaite reports.

And of course, Trump has continued to poke the bear by describing the raid with his usual over-the-top hyperbole. Something that his more extreme supporters are taking to heart. In one of the most recent and deadly examples of this, a gunman attacked the FBI field office in Cincinnati but was ultimately shot and killed by law enforcement.

This led Blitzer to ask Kinzinger if Trump is responsible for “inciting his supporters.”

“Yeah, absolutely, 100 percent,” Kinzinger said. “I posted a thread somebody put up of a number of folks on TikTok that were putting out, you know, not just anti-government, but really threats to violence, pictures of their guns, saying it is time, we’re coming. I mean, this is ridiculous. I mean, and it’s ridiculous obviously for what the former president has done in terms of saying, ‘This is an attack on my home.'”

But apparently, according to Blitzer, Trump reached out to Attorney General Merrick Garland, asking him to help find ways to deescalate the anger.

“Does it strike you as odd that the man that set the fire apparently tried to ask the attorney general to put it out?” Blitzer asked.

“Yeah, I mean, it’s a creepy message to be honest with you, just like, frankly Donald Trump and his supporters have become quite creepy in how they’re acting and what they’re threatening,” the congressman replied. “I don’t know what it means. Only Donald Trump, in his own head knows what that means. But it does strike me as something like, you know, you hear from the mafia. ‘Hey, if you want your store to be secure, give us money. We’ll make sure you’re secure,’ when in fact there was never a threat in the first place.”

At one point Blitzer asked Kinzinger about Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), who serves alongside him on the Jan. 6 committee. It’s expected that she will lose her congressional seat to a Trump-backed challenger, Tuesday.

“What will it say about your party if she were to lose her seat?” Blitzer wanted to know.

“Well, I think it shows that the party’s in a bad place,” Kinzinger replied. “Look, we are standing up against evil. Liz Cheney is standing up against evil. And I say this, I put out this message the other day, which is, a lot of people sit around and they dream about the day they get to do it and very few people get that chance to really stand up against evil. And as we’ve seen in Congress, many that do get that chance don’t. She has fought a valiant fight.”

Kinzinger himself is retiring from Congress when his term ends in January. It is still difficult to know whether Trump will be indicted for any of the damage he’s done but I’m glad Kinzinger, Cheney, and all of the others on the committee are diligent and hard-working and that Garland is assiduously harvesting the information he needs to make a decision on this.

It’s just one of many things this country needs right now.
