Former representative Adam Kinzinger is out of Congress now. He went from being a back-bencher who no one knew to parlaying his position on the Jan. 6 Committee into a job at CNN. He also had to have negotiated that deal while he was still in Congress as he announced virtually right after he was out.
But it turns out that the guy who is always praising himself for his great integrity (in his mind) has a small integrity problem: He got busted selling the Jan. 6 Committee report on his PAC website. He’s advertising it as a “limited edition,” bound with his signature on it, for $100. It even has his huge picture in the book, floating over the rioters below, with the words “Stand for Truth” emblazoned over it. Since you can access the report for free online, he’s charging you for his signature and his picture.

Fox, which first reported on it, said that he removed the listing on his PAC page but the website now has the listing back up with some changes. Fox did say that it had this false claim, “The attack was the culmination of a plot organized and driven by a defeated president, attempting to remain in power through a complex web of deceit, intimidation, and violence.” But I’m not seeing that now on the listing. Fox’s Kyle Morris also said that now they changed the listing to state that “All proceeds will benefit charitable organizations working to uphold and defend democracy in America.” Likely Kinzinger was advised that he was going to have a problem with it as it was originally listed and now he’s quickly trying to backpedal to cover his posterior.
Kinzinger is not only pimping the report, he’s also selling a signed “politically homeless” hat for $60 and a signed “American Sandlot” baseball for $50. The description is hilarious.
“Our Sacred Sandlot is being threatened,” the listing reads. “That’s why we’re putting together teams of reasonable people and common-sense solutions. Become part of the solution and donate today to get an official Country First limited-edition American Sandlot baseball signed by Adam Kinzinger!”
Seriously? Who is threatening the sandlot? Talk about conspiracy pushing, are the Russians on the sandlot, Adam? Tell the nice doctor if you see them on home plate. Why would anyone spend $50 for a baseball signed by Adam?
But that isn’t even the funniest thing. The funniest thing has to be the “Adam Aviator” pin. Talk about a narcissist. For $75, you can get a worthless sticker, a “Country First” hat, and an “Adam Aviator” pin. Check this out, they even have a black woman looking admiringly at him in his uniform, with “Stand for Truth” emblazoned across his chest.

I think it’s safe to say this man has issues.
