I trust Rep. Kinzinger because his service on the Jan 6 Committee cost him his seat and put him in danger. His willingness to call out the GOP, the MAGA base, and his own failures to prevent something like Jan 6 is a sign of his integrity and how seriously he takes his oath to defend the Constitution.

Adam Kinzinger is terrific--one of the few people in Congress with integrity and morals. It's such a shame that the majority of the GOP is so self-serving that they've forgotten why they were elected and will do and say whatever it takes to keep their jobs at the cost of losing their self-worth through a lack of integrity. I'd vote for Mr. Kinzinger for president if he chooses to run for president as an Independent.

Adam Kinzinger is such a role model for citizens. He is also a credit for the armed services. Here is an Representative of Congress who was a military officer showing a sense of intellectual honesty that is so clearly based on complete integrity and a deep sense of responsibility. His judgment is like the North Star. In a tight spot one can ask with confidence: "What would Adam Kinzinger do if he was in my shoes?"

221 house members, and 49 senators with Rs behind their names and only two had the backbone to tell the truth to their constituents. What a weak, selfish party.
