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 didnтАЩt say anything about democrats. Second, if there wasnтАЩt 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- ItтАЩs simply the right thing to do and doesnтАЩt 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. IтАЩm grateful for his service as a pilot but as a rep and commentator I donтАЩt find him interesting.

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