GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger's family DISOWNS him for opposing Trump
Daily Mail ^ | Feb 15 | By LUKE KENTON

Posted on 02/15/2021 8:11:29 PM PST by RandFan

Illinois Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger has released a scathing handwritten letter he received from a number of his relatives, calling him a ‘disappointment to God’ and a stain on their family's name for backing the impeachment of Donald Trump.

Kinzinger told the New York Times he received the disparaging note just two days after he called for Trump to be removed from office following the Capitol riots on January 6.

Penned by 11 members of his extended family, Kinzinger was accused in the letter of being in cahoots with ‘the devils army (Democrats and the fake news media)’ for publicly opposing the then-president, and requesting the 25th Amendment be invoked against him.

‘Oh my, what a disappointment you are to me and to God!’ the letter, dated January 8, begins. ‘We were once so proud of your accomplishments! Instead, you go against your Christian principals and join the “devil’s army”.’

‘How do you call yourself a Christian when you join the “devil’s army” believing in abortion!’ the note continues. ‘We thought you were “smart” enough to see how the left is brainwashing so many.’

Kinzinger’s family then go on to accuse him, and 'many other GOP members', of being ‘brainwashed’ by Democrats and ‘falling for their socialism ideals’.

While conceding that Trump ‘is not perfect’, they tell the Congressman, ‘neither are you or any of us for that matter!’

‘It’s not for us to judge or be judged! But [Trump] is a Christian! If God can forgive and use King David in the Bible, he can do the same with President Trump.’

‘When was the last time you proclaimed your faith Adam? (Oh we forgot your [sic] now with the “devil’s army”). You won’t convince us otherwise with your horrible, rude accusations of President Trump!

Can’t believe Kinzinger turned like he did. He snapped at some point and never an indication of his motivation.

Guess he won’t get his giant inheritance now. His career is over too.

It does have the odor of Smolletting but does he really think none of his 11 relatives will come out and debunk this?

Is he that stupid?

I don’t think he’s stupid, I think he’s mentally ill and needs to seek medical treatment.

That may be. He’s acting very strangely even for a politician.

He is a close friend and ally of Mike Pence.

His Air Force girlfriend broke off their engagement.

He married Mike Pence’s aide.

Bearding much?

Why is this drama queen releasing this letter?

Did he personally release the letter? Or does he have a relative like the Daughter From Hell, aka Claudia Conway of the rocky road voice, who tweeted it for him?

Well, I’m just going on what it says in the article: “Illinois Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger has released...”

Pretty much sounds like he made this public on his own initiative. If anyone has contrary information, please share.

“The guy has Skeletons in his closet.”

My thoughts as well. If that is indeed the case, look for him to side with the left again in the future, a la Roberts. But in the end he won’t get much mileage out of that, the left has no problem eating their own or rinos.

The democrats will redraw Adam’s district to assure him of his seat.

Why would he release this deeply personal letter from his own family to the NYT? Is it to embarrass them personally plus justify his own "righteous" actions before his political allies?

I'm happy he is not in our family. I'll bet most of his family is unhappy he is in theirs, too.

I agree. Little Adam wants to cast himself as a victim of the mean “Cult of Trump.” What better way to do so then by releasing the letter to the “Former Paper of Record.” Next up for Little Adam will be a dramatic announcement that he will become a Democrat.
