Adam Kinzinger appears to be at personal peace with his political situation.

He is on Alex Wagner's show.

No news, really. Just that observation.

Oh. And he has nothing but venom for Kevin McCarthy.


edit to fix autocorrect's butchering of his name.

And earlier he said he was Christian. I thought he was Jewish. Did he recently convert?

Kinzinger is not a Jewish name, it’s German. He has always talked about himself as a Christian.

I disagree with his politics but at least it's not Trumpian crazy. I hope he will land on his feet ok because I doubt he has much of a future in republican circles because TFG cult has taken over the whole party.

Very involved with that org what helped get rid of Cawthorn. And he said that he believes that Liz will chase -45 to the gates of hell.

He's done with being on the inside and is working to thwart them.

on those who claim their trumpism is based on Christian faith. Will have to look for a later rerun or maybe a video to get his exact wording, but it was damned impressive.
