Let’s talk about something that really gets under the skin of many conservative folks—those so-called “Republicans in name only,” or RINOs. You know the type: the ones who want all the perks of being part of the GOP but seem more at home with the Democrats. It’s like they want to join a fancy country club but skip out on paying the dues. And where better to expose these RINOs than at a gathering like the Democratic National Convention?
The DNC is already underway in Chicago, and it’s shaping up to be a spectacle that could make any conservative reach for the antacids. Tuesday night’s lineup is particularly loaded with speakers that might make you want to tune out.
On the docket are some major Democratic figures, including Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, former First Lady Michelle Obama, and, of course, the man himself, former President Barack Obama. If that trio doesn’t have you cringing, then hold on tight, because the so-called Republicans set to speak might just do the trick.
One of the most prominent RINOs taking the stage is Adam Kinzinger, the former Illinois congressman who has never been shy about his disdain for Donald Trump. Kinzinger’s presence at the DNC isn’t exactly a shocker—he’s been cozying up to the left for a while now. But it doesn’t stop there.
NEW: Adam Kinzinger says the most logical thing Republicans can do is to vote for Kamala Harris, the woman who was once ranked the most liberal Senator in America.
Kinzinger may be the dumbest man on CNN.

Former White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham is another name on the list. Grisham has made no secret of her disdain for Trump since leaving the administration, even admitting, “I never thought I’d be speaking at a Democratic convention.” Yet here she is, and she’s encouraging other Republicans to join her in ensuring that Trump never sets foot in the Oval Office again.
Then there’s Olivia Troye, Trump’s former National Security Advisor, who is expected to speak against Trump and potentially in favor of Vice President Kamala Harris, a rising star in the Democratic Party.
These are people who once held influential roles within the GOP, but now they’re using their platforms to rally against the man who many believe reshaped the Republican Party.
And the list goes on. Joining this group are John Giles, the mayor of Mesa, Arizona, and former Georgia Lt. Governor Geoff Duncan. These are politicians who still wear the Republican label but are willing to align with Democrats when it comes to opposing Trump.
