Republican Rep. Has the Perfect Response After Trump Calls Him a 'Loser'

Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger of Illinois is one of the few GOP lawmakers to fully condemn former President Donald Trump and the election lies that prompted a deadly failed insurrection against the United States Capitol.

As a result, Kinzinger is persona non grata in the Republican party. He was rejected by family members for his anti-Trump stance and excoriated by far-right members of Congress like Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia.


And, of course, his perceived disloyalty was met with insults from the former President, who called Kinzinger a "loser" in a recent press release.

In an appearance on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360, Kinzinger offered Trump a painful reminder.

Watch below.

Kinzinger said of Trump:

"I've never lost an election. He has. He's the only loser in that mix, and we're trying to grab onto him as if he's somehow the ticket to the future, and he is instead obsessed with the fact that he lost again at something."

He then addressed Trump directly:

"He's down there obsessing about the fact that he's a loser. I'm sorry you're a loser. But you lost."

Not only did Kinzinger use Trump's favorite insult against him, but he also reminded Trump that—despite the election fantasies the former President has tried so hard to push—he lost the 2020 election.

People cheered at the reminder.





Trump supporters were predictably upset.



Trump himself has yet to respond.

'Concerned' Trump Supporter Stunned After His Own Wife Was Detained By ICE

Wisconsin native Bradley Bartell voted for President Donald Trump, a decision that has come back to bite him after Camila Muñoz, his Peruvian wife, was detained by ICE as they were returning home from their honeymoon in Puerto Rico.

President Trump ran a campaign that prioritized the mass deportation of illegal immigrants, and though the administration insisted it would target the "worst first," reports have surfaced of individuals with no criminal history being detained by ICE.

Tim Walz Reveals The Hilariously Petty Way He Adds A 'Boost' To His Day Thanks To Musk

Minnesota Governor and former vice presidential candidate Tim Walz mocked billionaire Elon Musk, telling a crowd in Wisconsin about how he's found a nice little pick-me-up for his day—by adding Tesla to the stock app on his phone.

Walz's remarks came as news outlets reported that Tesla shares have plunged over 40% since January, wiping out the entire “Trump bump” that had temporarily driven the stock up more than 90% following Election Day. Musk, whose fortune is largely tied to his Tesla holdings, has seen his personal net worth shrink by a staggering $121 billion in just three months.
