Republican Adam Kinzinger Endorses Biden For President

To be fair / credit where it's due, he was vocally anti-Trump when he was still holding office. He and Cheney both, and they were ostracized for it.

It's the reality of modern US politics. One party is a complex coalition of vaguely progressive neolibs, and the other is a literal cult. Either you say "Jan 6th wasn't a big deal" or they force you to quit.

Lol, yup.

Normally, you'd be right on the money. It's always some former congressperson/staffer dishing out all the illegal things they saw. Except instead of reporting it to the authorities, they want you to buy their book and read about it.

Fact that a fucking Cheney was on the kind of sort of reasonable by comparison if you squint side of the Republican party and basically got chased out for it is wild.

Nikki Haley voting for Trump after he called her a birdbrain proves his point.

Nice. I like Kinsinger as a person and respect him. Have no idea his policies but they are at least sane.
