Adam Kinzinger from The People's Republic of Illinois

From The Other McCain: The Shame of Adam Kinzinger

You don't have to like Trump to see that he was better than Hillary would have been, or better than lying Joe Bide has been. But TDS is a terrible affliction.

Something else Kinzinger doesn’t get: Congressmen are supposed to represent their constituents. In 2016, Donald Trump won the 16th District of Illinois by 17 points, with 55% to Hillary Clinton’s 38%. In 2020, the voters of the 16th District chose Trump by a 16-point margin, 56% to Biden’s 40%. In other words, the district that sent Adam Kinzinger to Congress voted for Donald Trump twice, by overwhelming margins, and you might think this would oblige Kinzinger to defend the man his constituents embraced, rather than to constantly attack Trump.

Who is it, really, that is the threat to democracy?

Why do Republicans like Kinzinger hate their own constituents?

He couldn't stand by and NOT attack Trump and his supporters. Because reasons.

This is what’s really wrong with the Republican Party, that so many politicians elected by the party apparently don’t feel any obligation to reciprocate the loyalty of GOP voters. If you are elected as a Republican, you ought to be enough of a team player that you don’t do what Adam Kinzinger has done, directly insulting his own party’s voters.

And so he's gone, mostly because of redistricting, but probably in part because he hates the people he was sent to Washington to represent. As Robert Stacy says, "Good riddance."

There is more about Tucker Carlson, and the rest of the selfish bastards still elected by Republican voters. Click thru.
