Republicans like @AdamKinzinger have become liberal heroes for standing up against Trumpism. But in tonight’s #minirant, @mehdirhasan has a reminder that Kinzinger can't lecture on the importance of democracy if he doesn’t stand up for voting rights. Start the clock!

You get called Trump for this segment and shortsightedness! @MSNBC @RepLizCheney
Further proof that critical thought and public discourse is dead among the far left and far right. “Disagree with me. On anything? Then you are my enemy and I will lecture you about not lecturing.” Pathetic. Yet predictably, some endorse such farcical theatre. 🙄
For Pete’s sake, no one considers them “bipartisan hero’s”. They are both conservative Republicans that mostly vote party line. We get it! These are exactly the folks that we need to speak up & push back against the big lie. I for one applaud them for that

Please stop. I for one would just like to get back to arguing about policy instead of whether democracy will survive. Adam is an ally on this issue.

Sometimes when you think you are really smart, well.... you realize you're not. It's ok, but get off of the topic and tout our wins.

Have you asked him what his issues are with the act? Either way the guy has courage and guts. This Democrat and veteran respects that courage. At least he is taking the threat to our democracy more seriously than a lot of democrats. I would have him watch my six anytime.

Sometimes you just have to take the wins when you have them. Compared to the other Republicans who are embracing the big lie, these two are doing something that's even harder than what Dems are doing, they're going against their own party and party leadership.

The cheapest of cheap shots.

Mehdi is right. This isn’t an “over the top attack” — it’s pointing out that we agree on ONE important issue but still disagree on many other important issues necessary for a viable democracy.

You can be smart and have points but its just as bad over here that you are with us on everything or you are our enemy all the time.
