Soon-to-be former Rep. Adam Kinzinger is having a meltdown over former President Donald Trump’s interview with the “Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show” where he mocked President Joe Biden for getting rolled by “genius” and “savvy” Vladamir Putin:
Trump is a sick man. For us to do the same on Southern Border (as he suggests) we would have to invade Mexico and declare it ours today. But he loves him some Putin.

Kinzinger is particularly incensed by this line where “sick man” Trump sarcastically praised Putin for calling his forces that invaded Ukraine “peacekeepers” and that “we could use that on our southern border”:
Trump says Putin's military move on Ukraine is "genius."
"Putin is now saying, 'It’s independent,' a large section of Ukraine. I said, 'How smart is that?' And he’s gonna go in and be a peacekeeper… We could use that on our southern border."

Over to you, Chris Cillizza. Is this a reporter rooting for a side or not?
Let me say for the billionth time: Reporters don't root for a side. Period. https://t.co/dhH8eherOR
