Illinois GOP’s turn toward Trump keeps moderates at home
WGN-TV ^ | 7/16/24 | Ben Bradley

Posted on 07/17/2024 3:18:53 AM PDT by cotton1706

Donald Trump’s takeover of the Republican Party shows itself in the platform priorities approved here at the convention and the people who are now influencing the Illinois Republican Party.

With all the hoopla from inside the convention hall at Milwaukee’s Fiserv Forum, it’s easy to miss the people left outside of the arena and the party.

Among them: Adam Kinzinger, who was once viewed as the future of the GOP. He was a fresh-faced military vet who, as a congressman, voted with Trump more than 90 percent of the time.

But then he committed the Cardinal Sin of today’s GOP: Kinzinger not only spoke out against Trump’s 2020 election lie, he served on the January 6th committee.

Today, he’s a former congressman.

“No, not at all,” he said Tuesday when asked if he had any regrets. “There are certainly days I wish I wasn’t in the middle of this. Not that that I wish I belonged to the GOP. There’s no sense of loss there. But a year and a half of me being out of politics and I’m still a controversial figure.”

He’s not alone.

Always the lies and propaganda, Kinzinger is not a moderate, he is a paid for plant of the DNC, he has no moral compass and is a package of deceptions.

That being said I do hope he can find the Lord and leave the spiritual darkness.

They should fire Morning Joe, keep Mika and replace Joe with Kinzinger.

Until Chicago and its suburbs are walled off from the rest of the state, the good people of Illinois are prisoners of their own city.

“he served on the January 6th committee.”

He became a Rat patsy adding so called “bipartisanship” to the unselect committee on J6 enabling Pelosi.

Adam Kinzinger might be the most unpopular Republican in the country. Any piece that’s mourns the loss of Adam Kinzinger is written by a liberal who hates conservative.

We are NOT amused democrat press liar lowlifes.

In 2025, the only question will be who’ll be the first to be executed by military firing squad, Kissinher or Lizard Cheney. The betting odds are a toss up. /spit

Be fair. The Ronna (Romney) McDaniel era at the RNC was about more than losing gracefully. It also featured gross overspending and inept political operations, along with swell parties for your pals and calling it fundraising, travelling by private jet and limo, enjoying the best hotel accommodations, and being professionally groomed to the nines.

All one has to do is look at the state. It’s pretty much all red. Vote fraud is the biggest concern in Illinois.

So funny ! Kinsinger, I laugh, like 2016 at Hillery backers only this time it includes republican democrats too. We are being taught, learn people learn!
And who knew that it wasn’t just a few crooked bought politicians, that it is unelected career people that we pay stabbing us in the back.
First order of business clean our house top to bottom, defund the pensions of those before lois lerner is one.
Oh and it is former vice president for joez title and really not even that cause his boss barry was not president either.

If Adam Kinzinger is such a gem, why did his district give him the ole “heave ho”?
Because they were tired of being deceived by this fraud, that’s why.
Illinois is going Biden anyway, regardless
Chicago is a sh*thole!

WGN might as well still be airing The Bozo Show.
