Former Republican Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger said his documentary on his time on the Jan. 6 committee is “even more important” in the wake of the 2024 election and President-elect Donald Trump‘s legal battles.

The documentary, titled The Last Republican, focuses on Kinzinger’s last year in Congress while investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol protest, with the former lawmaker calling it “a living record” of the committee. Kinzinger has been a vocal critic of Trump since the protest, going so far as to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential bid before the election. 

“So look, now especially with Donald Trump’s reelection and especially with Jack Smith having to drop the charges, I think this documentary is even more important because it is a living record of what happened on the committee from behind the scenes,” Kinzinger said on ABC News’s The View. “Not just what you all saw on TV, from behind the scenes.”

Kinzinger also said he chose to participate in this documentary because he and his wife wondered how they would explain the Trump era to their children and argued the documentary was “a good way to explain it.” He also said the documentary is not political and instead is “a human documentary” that is “important to see.”

The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg deemed the Jan. 6 committee “another slice” of the nation’s history “that they’re actually trying to erase” and contended it is “much harder” to remove a film.

Kinzinger was also asked about President Joe Biden‘s decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, to which the former lawmaker argued the issue many people have is how the president went back on his word of saying he would not pardon him. Kinzinger also argued that Biden’s pardon “pales” from what people can expect from the incoming Trump administration.

Amid the criticism of Biden pardoning his son, radio host Charlamagne tha God has called on the president and the Democratic Party to “stop acting like they’re on this moral high ground politically” when their actions state otherwise. He also deemed the pardon an example of elected officials doing as they please so long as they have “the political will and courage to do it.”
