Kinzinger first made the request on Twitter when the Pelosi attack video was released.

Ted Cruz was and remains wrong. Paul Pelosi’s attackers were radicalized by MAGA. He was not a left-wing hippie, as the Republican Issue claims.
More people should be like Adam Kinzinger and not leave Republicans like Cruz indifferent. The fact that Cruise continues to cling to the false story that Paul Pelosi’s attackers were unaffected by MAGA means that he and other Republicans still feel the consequences of their dangerous lies, It shows that you have not been held accountable.
Public accountability has to start somewhere, and Adam Kinzinger shows how it can be done.
