Whether motivated by a pin prick in his pocket or mere imaginary circumstance, the Illinois congressman gave a waterworks performance that might have put Shamu to shame during Tuesday\u2019s opening hearing of the \u201cJanuary 6<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;Commission,\u201d on which Kinzinger and his colleague Liz Cheney make up the only Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLike most Americans,\u201d the congressman bawled, \u201cI\u2019m frustrated that six months after a deadly insurrection breached the United States Capitol for several hours on live television, we still don\u2019t know exactly what happened.\u201d Kinzinger seems to know less than most people. If he knew that prosecutors have not charged a single Capitol trespasser with seditious conspiracy, he could not continue to call the event an \u201cinsurrection.\u201d If he knew that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fox23.com\/news\/trending\/dc-medical-examiner-confirms-causes-death-4-who-died-jan-6-capitol-riot\/MZMP3MS2JZGTHKAGBM2YPCRG5I\/\">only Ashli Babbitt<\/a>, a Trump supporter in the Capitol, died a violent death there that day, he would have to redirect his \u201cdeadly\u201d slur from the mob to the cops whom he spent the afternoon praising.<\/p>\n<p>If he followed public opinion <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voanews.com\/usa\/us-politics\/political-divide-widens-january-6-hearings-begin\">polls<\/a> and Senate <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/senate\/557604-35-percent-in-new-poll-say-passing-infrastructure-bill-should-be-top\">votes,<\/a> he would know that Americans care much more about infrastructure, the federal budget deficit, health care reform, and immigration than they do about investigating the young man in the horn hat for dancing around the Capitol rotunda.<\/p>\n<p>Kinzinger shed no tears for the dozens of people killed in the months-long Black Lives Matter riots that torched cities coast to coast last summer, nor did he demand any congressional commissions to investigate who instigated the violence. Kinzinger would not have had to look far since his Democratic colleagues constituted some of the terrorists\u2019 most prominent cheerleaders. Then-senator Kamala Harris helped to bail the belligerents out of jail. Instead, Kinzinger mocked the notion that the leftist political violence merited any congressional investigation at all.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI condemn those riots and the destruction of property that resulted,\u201d the congressman conceded. \u201cBut not once, did I ever feel that the future of self-governance was threatened like I did on January 6th. There is a difference between breaking the law and rejecting the rule of law.\u201d According to Kinzinger, BLM may have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewjournal.com\/crime\/courts\/5-charged-with-damaging-federal-buildings-during-blm-protest-2123868\/\">broken the law<\/a> when it burned down police stations and federal courthouses, but the theft of Nancy Pelosi\u2019s lectern by a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gannett-cdn.com\/presto\/2021\/01\/07\/NSHT\/2c5158a6-765b-4cc1-b84d-76e163792b0a-GettyImages-1294949346_sm.jpg?width=660&amp;height=441&amp;fit=crop&amp;format=pjpg&amp;auto=webp\">smiling Florida man<\/a>&nbsp;threatened the rule of law itself.<\/p>\n<p>Even the manliest man loses his composure on occasion. But Kinzinger\u2019s womanish clown act surprised no one \u2014 least of all the congressman, who doubtless had rehearsed the scene as would any ham actor about to get the hook. When Kinzinger plays to his liberal audience by attacking fellow Republicans, he assumes the role to which he is best suited in our national drama: that of the court jester \u201cconservative,\u201d who never threatens the powers that be but rather merely struts and frets for the pleasure of the ruling class\u2014truly a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>The views expressed in this opinion piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
