CHICAGO — Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger got hit with his first formal rebuke late Wednesday from Republican officials in his district for voting to impeach former President Donald Trump.

In a statement, Smith said the measure passed with 88 percent support. The voting started Tuesday night but the results were released a day later. Republicans, he said, are also concerned that Kinzinger hasn’t engaged with county Republicans for six years but has found time to take his anti-Trump messaging to national media platforms...

Full article is pretty good.

If I had to choose between the GOP winning the House or purging all the scumbags out I’d take the latter. It’s only a 2 year term. If you can’t dislodge them in the primaries, vote for the other Democrat in the race so that you get a new choice only 2 years later.
Never vote for a Democrat.....
Has he said it is a ‘badge of honor’ yet?
There has to be more “behind the scenes” with this guy. He just came out of nowhere to do the dems’ bidding.
I do believe you mean "Never vote for a RINO or a weak kneed Repiblican" like Mikey Pence, Linda Gramnasy, Lizy Chaney and her Dad and the Bushes, this list gets longer and longer
“are also concerned that Kinzinger hasn’t engaged with county Republicans for six years.”
There it is.

Ah.
Much better...

The vote to keep Cheney as a leader was 145-61.
Looks like we have 145 Republican scumbags in the House of Representatives.
These losers aren’t even worth hating, anymore.
New rules: any Republican who voted for impeachment of PDT faces automatic defeat in their next election by any means necessary
145 uniparty folks, at minimum
