Rep. Adam Kinzinger to Launch PAC Challenging GOP’s Embrace of Donald Trump
Breitbart ^ | 31 Jan 2021 | KATHERINE RODRIGUEZ

Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), one of the ten Republicans who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump, is launching a political action committee (PAC) to challenge leadership in the GOP still aligned with the former president.

Kinzinger, who was once part of the 2010 class of Tea Party Republicans, said the Capitol Hill riots on January 6 was the straw that broke the camel’s back for the direction of the Republican Party, dividing those who wanted to move towards autocracy and those who wanted to return to a path of traditional conservatism, the Washington Post reported.

Kinzinger formally introduced his Country 1st PAC in a Sunday Meet the Press interview, followed by a six-minute campaign-style video launching what he hopes will transform the party from its current state.

“The reality is this: This is a time to choose … And my goal in launching Country1st.com is just to say, look, let’s take a look at the last four years, how far we have come in a bad way, how backward-looking we are, how much we peddle darkness and division,” Kinzinger said on the program.

“And that’s not the party I ever signed up for. And I think most Republicans didn’t sign up for that,” he added.

“Republicans must say enough is enough. It’s time to unplug the outrage machine, reject the politics of personality, and cast aside the conspiracy theories and the rage,” Kinzinger says in the launch video.

He also called politicians such as Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) “political terrorists.”

Kinzinger says he is not vying for leadership in the GOP or some form of higher office. His goal is just to drive the conspiracy theorists and racists out of the Republican Party.

Adam gave an endorsement to Jeb on television moments after he announced his candidacy in 2016.

I saw this guys interview with Chuck Todd this morning. What a smarmy jack wagon. Agreed with all of Chucks little digs at Trump and other Republicans.
Some conservative. He didn’t espouse or argue with a single thing Chick said. What a joke.

Perhaps Reddit can short the PAC.

Go ahead Adam. You might want to call National Review to see if they want to donate. Mitt Romney would and so would Paul Ryan and of course John McCain except he can’t. Maybe you could start a third party. Or take the easy way out and switch to being a Democrat.

Why doesn’t he just join the misnamed “Lincoln Project” and become a child sexual molester and fraudster like the other Lincoln Project members and be done with it?

Kinzinger is not a Republican by any means. He just pretends to he one in order to get himself elected.

Honest, there should be some kind of punishment for false advertising as a politician. His party affiliation doesn’t match his actions, and that is so much wrong on so many different levels.

The pr!ck doesn’t even try to appease his constituents.

I wonder what kind of district he’s in. I guess getting rid of trump haters I’d ok as long as we won the trump lover seats. Right now we only need to win 5 house seats for majority. But it may be 15 or more after the ban on these trump haters.

How far we have come in a bad way??? Like record low unemployment for all groups, minorities and women especially, or starting to get serious about illegal immigration and all the useless wars or getting rid of a bunch of stifling unnecessary regulations? Those bad things?

This guy is crazier than an outhouse rat.

“It could be another scam like the Lincoln Project, aka the Grifter Projecoln Project”

Exactly. An FEC review of the gay pedophile club aka Lincoln Project revealed nearly all the money that group collected went to themselves and their families and associates.

Very odd since he’s been in congress since winning in 2010. Hmmmm. He had no primary challenger in 2020 and won the general by 59 percent. Not easy to get rid of him.

Hope so. He had no challenger at all in previous primaries. Who do you want to run against him?

He won the general with 59% of the vote because its a very red congressional district. It had nothing to do wit him.
Republicans can put a ham sandwich there and he will still win.
The jester is finished. President Trump will campaign against him in 2022 and make sure he loses the primary.
