Kinzinger speaks out on leaving Congress, 'cancer' in the Republican Party
ABC News ^ | Oct 31, 2021

After announcing on Friday that he would not seek reelection to Congress in 2022, Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., said Sunday he, Rep. Liz Cheney and "a few others" are the only House Republicans "telling the truth" about the 2020 election and its aftermath.

"You can fight to try to tell the truth, you can fight against the cancer in the Republican Party of lies of conspiracy of dishonesty," Kinzinger told ABC "This Week" anchor George Stephanopoulos exclusively in his first interview since the announcement. "There are about 190 people in the Republican Party that aren't going to say a word, and there's a leader of the Republican caucus that is embracing Donald Trump with all he can."

The Illinois GOP congressman is one of the most prominent critics of former President Donald Trump. He was one of 10 Republicans who voted to impeach Trump following the riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6 -- and he’s one of two serving on the House committee investigating the attack.

“...he’ll soon be gone, and head off to his new job as a “news analyst” at MSNBC or CNN.”

He thinks he’s just going to retire from congress and start his next career. No. The coup plotters are going to be punished. Justice is coming.

I suspect Adam is yet another Kleptocrat who hates Trump because Trump was shutting down the Swamp Gravy Train.

Rep. Adam Kinzinger has no one to blame but himself. He made the mistake more than a decade ago of lying to others and himself when he ran on the Republican ticket instead of the Democrat one.

Well, I’m glad to see he is doing his part in eradicating the cancer within the party, by getting the heck out.
