Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois is one of just ten Republicans who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump for his role in inciting the insurrectionist mob that attack the US Capitol on January 6. The lawmaker, who has been in Congress since 2013, tried to warn the GOP of the pernicious influence of the QAnon conspiracy theory, many months before Trump supporters stormed the building.
But the backlash isn't just among the public and other lawmakers. In a new interview with Insider opinion columnist Anthony Fisher, Kinzinger says members of his own family have turned on him due to his vote:
Politicsinsider Say a lot about Kinzinger's MAGA relatives...
Sounds like he needs a new family
I understand that there are differences of opinion, but I don't understand the rabid nature of some of this current stuff
They did him a favor.
Dear Congressman RepKinzinger: You are welcome to join my family. We’re a little messed up too, but like normal families, but we BELIEVE in the Constitution and what you did (country over party or cult) was valid and correct! “Stay the course!” See you on Thanksgiving.
anthonyLfisher C'mon... they sent that BEFORE his vote.
It's not just happening to Mr. Kinzinger but to others on main streets across the nation. What many might miss is that it's not about Trump; it's about the Republican Party as a whole. He could easily have abstained maintaining a solidarity with all Republicans across the nation.

He should frame that petition and hang it in a prominent location as a badge of honor.
Don’t worry AdamKinzinger You did the right thing. Thank you. You are brave and deserve our support.
Cult followings are strange
Why was Trump banned?
Trump is CANCER. Impeaching him = only removes the tumor Convicting Trump = radiates cancerous cells Convict enablers/cronies = radiates nearby cells Act FAST, before it SPREADS. Only THEN can America have the BEST chance of REMISSION n lowest risk of recurrence of TREASON
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Seems congratulations are in order for freeing himself from such a shitty family! 🇺🇸
