Republican Illinois congressman says to President Trump in tweet: 'Time to delete your account'

Republican U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger had a five word message for President Donald Trump when he retweeted a link to a video from the White House in which the president continued to question the results of last month’s election:

“Time to delete your account,” Kinzinger tweeted.

Kinzinger’s tweet came out Wednesday night, hours after the president delivered a 46-minute speech from the White House’s Diplomatic room. During what Trump called “the most important speech” of his presidency, he challenged Democrat Joe Biden’s victory, claiming widespread voter fraud.

Biden received a record 81 million votes compared to 74 million for Trump. The Democrat also won 306 electoral votes compared to 232 for Trump. The Electoral College split matches Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton four years ago, which Trump has described as a “landslide.”

He is a total conservative asshole. He will not hold town halls. He meets only with repiggies in the district. He calls the ACA a total failure.

Lately, he has been making a lot fewer right-wing statements. He is trying to sound like a moderate. I think he has something in mind. Maybe he wants to run against Tammy Duckworth.

Go away, Adam.

He figured out which way the winds were blowing and safely used it to his advantage. I think you're right re: running against Tammy Duckworth. He's just a younger version of Manzullo otherwise they are two peas in a pod.

this snake wants to run for governor. This state is so polarized right now that this scares me.
