Alina Habba hits Kinzinger for attacks on Trump in DNC speech: ‘Sit the hell down’

Alina Habba, an attorney for former President Trump, slammed former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) for criticizing Trump during his speech at the Democratic National Convention, telling him to “sit the hell down.”

“I am sick and tired of this fake nonsense. Sit the hell down. It’s enough. I am literally baffled by what I’m seeing,” Habba said Thursday on Newsmax.

Kinzinger delivered a prime-time speech, before Vice President Harris took the stage, where he criticized the former president. Once a Trump supporter and rising GOP star, Kinzinger joined the select committee to investigate the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.

During his speech, Kinzinger denounced the attack and Trump’s role that day.

“Donald Trump is a weak man pretending to be strong,” Kinzinger said. “He is a small man pretending to be big. He’s a faithless man pretending to be righteous. He’s a perpetrator who can’t stop playing the victim.”

An outraged Habba said after watching Kinzinger’s speech, he is “officially in no man’s land.”

“I am voting you off the island because you are worse than a RINO. 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,” she said, highlighted by Mediaite.

Habba said she doesn’t care what Kinzinger did about the Jan. 6 attacks and called his speech at the convention 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 said.

The Harris campaign sought to strategically involve anti-Trump Republicans to the convention this week. Kinzinger was one of several notable GOP members who warned America about a second Trump term.

Habba argued that having Kinzinger speak in one of the last slots before Harris took the stage Thursday sends a message about her campaign. North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper (D) spoke after Kinzinger and before Harris.

“Let’s be objective, America. Before Kamala Harris took the stage, OK, it wasn’t Michelle Obama, Barack Obama. It wasn’t her vice president. It wasn’t her husband. It was a Republican,” Habba said. “That’s the best she could do.”
