Adam Kinzinger Latest Celebrity News & Gossip

The Conservative Political Action Conference has become much more of a MAGA event in recent years, with Donald Trump himself scheduled on Saturday to address the event of conservative activists, media figures and supporters.

J. Kim Murphy “60 Minutes” has drawn criticism from journalists and other public figures for its sit-down interview with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, which aired on Sunday evening. In the interview, Greene asserted that Democrats are the “party of pedophiles,” saying, “They support grooming children… Even Joe Biden himself supports children being sexualized and having transgender surgeries.” The Republican representative doubled down on her comments in a Tweet, writing, “I will always fight to protect kids!” Greene, who was elected to a House seat representing Georgia in 2020, has been a primary subject of fervent criticism from Democratic figures for several years.

Adam Schiff (D-CA) and soon-to-be departing Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), with the latter in the form of Heidi Gardner.

Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large “Saturday Night Live” opened its third episode of the season by taking on Jan. 6 committee hearings, starting  Kenan Thompson as United States Representative Bennie G. Thompson (D-MS). And the theme of the sketch was quite simple: No matter how bad the attempts to stage a coup and overthrow the nation were, there’s no accountability in this country… and nothing will ultimately come of it. Donald Trump will roam free, there’s little chance he’ll actually live up to the subpoena to appear in front of the committee, and there’s nothing they can do about it. Liz Cheney, played by Heidi Gardner,  noted that “Over the past few months, this bipartisan committee has presented our case to all Americans. Whether you’re a Republican who’s not watching or a Democrat who’s nodding so hard your head is falling off, one person is responsible for this insurrection: Donald Trump. And one person will suffer the consequences: Me. You might be wondering what makes me so tough. And I asked you who was your dad? … You could say I have big Dick Cheney energy.”
