He claimed that “people that work hard for their money are giving their money to this because they’re convinced because the president’s telling them they can win, and they can’t.”
“All these members of congress that are posting crazy things so they can get a ton of followers and retweets and raise money,” Kinzinger closed. “I think we have to call it out finally because if we don’t people are just going to believe it.”

By December, the campaign and Republican National Committee had jointly raised more than $200 million in post-election donations.
