Alina Habba blasts Adam Kinzinger for calling Trump ‘weak’ despite ex-POTUS taking 'bullet to his ear'
WASHINGTON, DC: Alina Habba, a senior adviser and personal attorney to Donald Trump, launched a fierce attack on Adam Kinzinger following his speech at the Democratic National Convention (DNC).
According to Mediaite, Habba’s ire was triggered by Kinzinger’s criticism of Trump as “soft” and “weak,” especially given a recent incident where Trump reportedly suffered an ear injury from an assassination attempt.
Alina Habba slams Adam Kinzinger's DNC critique of Donald Trump
The DNC, which has been a major focus in the media and on television this week, culminated on Thursday night with Vice President Kamala Harris’s highly praised acceptance speech.
Kinzinger, a former Republican congressman known for his criticism of Trump, spoke just before Harris and delivered a harsh critique of the former president.
On Thursday’s edition of Newsmax TV’s 'Greg Kelly Reports,' Habba joined host Greg Kelly and co-host Mercedes Schlapp for a live discussion about the DNC.
Habba was visibly outraged by Kinzinger’s comments. Mercedes Schlapp remarked, “Adam Kinzinger. He was all about putting on a show. He put on a show during the January 6th committee. His whole thing is complete hatred of Donald Trump. What’s your reaction?”
Habba responded with anger, saying, “Yeah, I would just—I don’t need a tee-up on that one. We just heard enough. I would like to welcome Adam to what we call no man’s land. You are now not a Republican. You’re not a Democrat. You are in no man’s land. So congratulations!”
Habba continued, “You want to speak about values? You don’t know where the hell you stand! You are sitting at the DNC denouncing the Republican Party! You are calling a man that just took a bullet to the ear weak! And you are saying that he is small and he is soft?"
"Meanwhile, the only person I know that was soft on crime was Kamala Harris, who all of a sudden has a law degree. But we haven’t heard about it for the last three and a half years,” she added.
Alina Habba denounces Adam Kinzinger's DNC speech as a ‘career killer’
Greg Kelly laughed in response, while Alina Habba stayed intensely fired up, saying, “I am sick and tired of this fake nonsense. Set the hell down. It’s enough. I am literally baffled by what I’m seeing. Greg, you and I are friends and you very rarely will get me this fired up on national television. But I will tell you this. Watching that man, he is a disgrace! You are officially on no man’s land. I am voting you off of the island!”
Mercedes Schlapp laughed as Habba continued, “Because you are worse than a rhino. You are pathetic. And the only weak person I see is somebody who needs to tout their service to this country only when they want to betray it. And I’m not having it. So let me just tell you, that is not only a disgrace! I don’t care about what he did on January 6th. It speaks volumes."
"But what he just did right there was a career killer! So while he’s sending out emails asking for money, I can assure you he’ll be looking for a job very soon,” she added.
Greg Kelly responded, “Well, I’m glad we’re friends because if you ever turned on me, I’d have a big problem! (LAUGHS) Know why that was? Adam Kinzinger. I’m glad he can’t hear you right now, but. No.”
Habba concluded, “Well, you’ll hear it. And I got to tell you, it’s pathetic! It’s weak! It’s what they do. The fact that this is what the–. Let’s let’s be objective. America. Before Kamala Harris took the stage, okay, it wasn’t Michelle Obama, Barack Obama, it wasn’t her vice president. It wasn’t her husband. It was a Republican! That’s the best she could do.”
The final speaker before Vice President Harris at the DNC was North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper.
