Former Republican Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger said his documentary on his time on the Jan. 6 committee is “even more important” in the wake of the 2024 election and President-elect Donald Trump‘s legal battles.
The documentary, titled The Last Republican, focuses on Kinzinger’s last year in Congress while investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol protest, with the former lawmaker calling it “a living record” of the committee. Kinzinger has been a vocal critic of Trump since the protest, going so far as to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential bid before the election.
“So look, now especially with Donald Trump’s reelection and especially with Jack Smith having to drop the charges, I think this documentary is even more important because it is a living record of what happened on the committee from behind the scenes,” Kinzinger said on ABC News’s The View. “Not just what you all saw on TV, from behind the scenes.”
Kinzinger also said he chose to participate in this documentary because he and his wife wondered how they would explain the Trump era to their children and argued the documentary was “a good way to explain it.” He also said the documentary is not political and instead is “a human documentary” that is “important to see.”
The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg deemed the Jan. 6 committee “another slice” of the nation’s history “that they’re actually trying to erase” and contended it is “much harder” to remove a film.
