Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger appeared on Meet The Press with Chuck Todd to message the GOP. It was an insurrection. They disregard it at their future peril.

(48,955 posts)Justin Amash began speaking out in a similar way - and was being so loudly and with relish threatened with being primaried that he decided not to run again. Keep in mind Amash was not a "moderate" per se (he is now libertarian), but he also didn't follow the party into the world of alt-reality in order for that reality to match the fabrications of DJT.
In that republican midwestern (Michigan) district who won the primary? A big Trumper? No. Peter Meijer. Who was one of the 10 house republicans to vote for impeachment against Trump due to the insurrection. Will Meijer get primaried out? Possibly. I am not following closely so I have no (if this is your district - please weigh in.) But my point is speaking the truth in some areas - even in GOP districts - does not necessarily = 'be gone!' That independent/mavericky streak may be what makes that candidate popular to the locals.
