Kinzinger says Trump is becoming 'irrelevant' and that GOP voters are 'being abused'

After he acknowledged the power and longevity of "Trumpism," Rep. Adam Kinzinger argued some members of the Republican party were taking advantage of pro-Trump voters by lying to them.

"Trumpism isn't dying, even though Trump is becoming irrelevant," the Illinois Republican said Sunday on ABC News' "This Week." I am hearing a lot of anecdotal stuff, around the edges, of people who've been hardcore with Trump that now just can't stand him."

His remarks come after the January 6 House Select Committee — of which he is one of two Republican members — has investigated and aired details about the 2021 attack on the Capitol. Kinzinger said he believes the committee has "proven" enough for the Department of Justice to incriminate Trump.

"I think the long term...in like five years, I still believe it's going to be hard to find someone that will ever admit they were ever a Trump supporter, and I think this is where this impact comes, in future history," Kinzinger added.

A lie is an easy thing to believe if it's what you want to hear.
