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.

He’s probably dead in the water and he still has never criticized Dennis Hastert Id hammer him with ads over that alone unless of course he’s got a few skeletons
This is awesome. Let them all get together ad see what happens when we do not follow them. When our money and loyalty stay with Trump we can rightfully tell them to shut up, sit down, and act like the losers they are when the democrats are in power.
Save the effort moron, join the Lincoln Project idiots.
He is a disgusting idiot. Wouldn’t be shocking if in twenty years he writes a book acknowledging that he only ran as a tea party Republican in order to sabotage reform. Here’s to hoping he is primaried and failing that the Democrat takes his seat. The ten traitors must be cast out.
So very stupid and disconnected from reality.
Maybe he is hoping for Chicom money to come rolling in.
Is the PAC called ‘Moronic Idiots Against Trump PAC’? 😀
He needs a one way trip to Navy Pier.
This guy and his extended fam have got to have financial interests in him doing what he did and is going to do.
He could replace Bogdonvich[sp.] in the hoosegow for corruption.
I know I'm done with giving to anyone except individuals...
I'm not falling for their two faced lying scare tactics anymore.
Please, please, please call me for money.
It will be better when the Dem beats him in 2 years than getting this traitor re-elected. I could never bring myself to vote for Dem after the party has gone full socialist, anti-American, anti-police, oppressive authoritarian. However, in this race, if we can’t successfully primary him, the Dem must win for the good of the nation.
The idea that he is a conservative is about as believable as his being a Martian. Of course to this lying anti-American establishment hack, Trump wanting lower taxes, less regulation, more protections of Constitutional rights, less federal and more state power, and equal treatment for all Americans is “autocratic” but Biden and his allies crushing freedom of speech, assembly, and religion and the right to bear arms, pushing to radically alter our system of government to create one-party Dem rule, and going crazy with executive orders bypassing Congress is the epitome of “freedom.” Sorry if we don’t accept the authoritarians’ 1984 definitions of freedom.
If memory serves me Adam Kinzinger met with terrorist Al Baghdadi and supported him. There are pictures, visuals that show Mr. Kinzinger and the late Sen. John McCain with Mr. Al Baghdadi and his fellow terrorists.
Al Baghdadi was responsible for murdering many including American soldiers.
I don’t think Mr. Kinzinger is a credible pro-American politician. So by all means Adam start a PAC to challenge our embrace of Pro American, America First President Trump.
Well, he deserves a chance to fail, after collecting sums of money from people who probably have no good use for it anyway...
Pat Toomey, Joni Ernst, Marco Rubio, Ben Sasse.... I could go on and on
Did he ever specify which country he meant for his Country 1st PAC? His type are always America Lasters, so of course he does not mean the US—unless he was speaking ironically.
When he was first running for congress he had me fooled big time. He was in my district and talked the talk really good. This is how the tea party was totally infiltrated by these clones.
I’m a bit worried that the same thing will happen to a new Patriot party. You can’t stop candidates from lying their butts off.
I watched an old movie last night called “Meet John Doe” with Gary Cooper. It shows how fast a good thing can be thoroughly corrupted by politics if the folks aren’t very careful.
