Kinzinger: ‘Profit-Driven Radio’ Turning GOP Base ‘Angry, Fearful’

Trent Baker 9 Jan 2022

Sunday on NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) blamed the combination of former President Donald Trump and “profit-driven radio” for changing the GOP base.

According to Kinzinger, those radio shows turned the base “into this angry, fearful” and “victimized group of people.” He added Trump and the base “fed off each other.”

“Did Donald Trump reveal what the Republican Party is or change it?” host Chuck Todd asked.

“You know, I think it’s actually a little bit of both,” Kinzinger replied.

“So, I think, on the one hand, Donald Trump is a symptom of years and years of leaders, you know, profit-driven radio shows, whatever, turning the base into this angry, fearful, you know, victimized group of people,” he added. “Or saying, look, you can never get a fair shot. You know, as time goes by, you’re going to lose more and more political power. Keep in mind — Republicans still won just about half of every races, but then Donald Trump came along and, I think unintentionally because I think he just wanted to be, you know, that guy, unintentionally got in front of the wave where people wanted somebody to blow stuff up. I think it’s a little of both. I think it’s fed off each other. The problem is leaders have to now interdict this fear and anger cycle, and they’re not doing it. They’re instead hiding.”

How much longer must we endure this jackass.

Now it's those damned evil capitalists?  Mr. Kinzinger is simply a garden variety socialist.

[DefiantMassRINO]

Radio is merely an outlet for a constituency that is being ignored by their elected representatives.

You'd be angry, too, if you've ever had to train your offshore replacement prior to being laid off by your employer.

This is a typically socialist view of the people as an ignorant mass directed by more "knowledgeable" outside forces... rather than as a group of individuals with their own thoughts and concerns. The popularity of talk radio and Pres. Trump are symptoms of the anger of the Republican base, not the cause of that anger.

[LMAO]

The more he says stuff like this, the more the press tells him how wonderful he is which encourages him to say things like this more and more. It’s a loop

He's gone Full "Morning Joe".

So Kinzinger is admitting that there really aren't anyone but liberal robots listening to taxpayer funded socialist NPR? There is a reason why conservative talk radio is successful and socialist radio isn't. For a supposed conservative what is his problem with Capitalism, it has always been profit driven and it built this Nation to greatness.

One more thing, it isn't profit driven radio that has turned Conservatives(GOP base my azz!) angry and fearful, it's the socialists and fascists in the democrat party and what they have done and want to do to our Republic.

F'k Kinzinger the donkey he has chosen to ride out on.
