Am I the only one confused by the Bulwark fascination with Kinzinger? He watched Trump in office from a more informed spot than the rest of us and still voted for him in 2020. He saw the light after Jan 6, and I guess good for him. My question is what insight does he offer? What difficult questions does he answer? He has voted for trump at every opportunity and doesn’t contribute much of interest to me. In closing, go Wolves

Politics is a team sport. Kinzinger stayed with his team until they crossed a red line. He wasn't the only Republican who lost favor because he insisted on telling the truth about January 6.

When Democrats unanimously move to expel Robert Menendez from the Senate, then maybe they'll be in a position to claim the high ground.

What a pointless response. First of all, I didn’t say anything about democrats. Second, if there wasn’t a line Kinzinger could see before the 2020 election, I remain unimpressed with his conversion. Ditching trump after Jan 6 is like returning a lost wallet without taking the cash- It’s simply the right thing to do and doesn’t deserve praise. Running and losing in a primary still offers a large microphone if you want to press something you believe in. He chose not to. I’m grateful for his service as a pilot but as a rep and commentator I don’t find him interesting.

Oh, I see. You just wanted to emote, not start a conversation.
