Kinzinger endorses Dems in major governor, secretary of state races (what a shock!)

Rep. Adam Kinzinger, one of the most prominent Republican critics of former President Donald Trump in Congress, is rolling out a bipartisan series of midterm endorsements Tuesday, including a handful of Democrats seeking to become their states’ top election officials.

Kinzinger (R-Ill.) endorsed four Democratic secretary of state candidates: incumbents Steve Simon of Minnesota and Jocelyn Benson of Michigan, along with Arizona’s Adrian Fontes and Nevada’s Cisco Aguilar, both of whom are running for open seats. Kinzinger’s endorsements, shared first with POLITICO, also include Democrat Josh Shapiro’s campaign for governor of Pennsylvania, where he would appoint the secretary of state if he wins.

In an interview, Kinzinger said he chose 2022 endorsements partly based on where there are “going to be positions that, frankly, can be bulwarks to defend against a real constitutional crisis in 2024.”

“A badly-placed, bad faith secretary of state can really throw the whole country into chaos,” he added.

Kinzinger also backed Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican who successfully fended off a Trump-backed primary challenger this year after refusing to help Trump overturn the 2020 election results. And Kinzinger gave another endorsement to Arizona Democratic gubernatorial nominee Katie Hobbs, the state’s current secretary of state.

Well, should we expect any different from a Democrat?

Adam Kinzinger is now pro-abortion, anti-family, anti-2nd Amendment, pro-sodomy, pro-open borders.

That's a firm bedrock of Play-Doh right there.

Show him the exit door from the GOP and make sure the door hits him on his ass when leaving.

“In an interview, Kinzinger said he chose 2022 endorsements partly based on where there are “going to be positions that, frankly, can be bulwarks to defend against a real constitutional crisis in 2024.”

So, you’ve chosen to avert a constitutional crisis by supporting candidates with positions and ideas that have been overturned by the courts as unconstitutional countless times over the past 200 years?

He is even more pathetic than his buddy Lizard Cheney. These McCain acolytes will never be missed. Now getting rid of the two faced scum sucking swine Lindsay Graham has to be a priority. Sooner rather than later.

I’m sure Kinzinger’s endorsement carries a lot of weight with the voters. /sarc

I was going to second that, but since you just did, I’ll third it!
My vote is for Esther Joy King, running against Eric Sorensen, a former TV weatherman locally. All the tv people around here seem to be democrats.
No big surprise there, I guess.

This one has already reached peak stupidity. His FRiends the demonrats have already canceled this nutter through gerrymandering his district right out from under him. The Gopee is nothing more then a whole bunch of dried out teats on the belly of the demonrat pig, useless.
