GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger has now announced that he will not be seeking reelection in 2022.

As Politico reports:

Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, one of the most prominent critics of former President Donald Trump in the House Republican Conference, announced Friday he won’t seek reelection next year.

Kinzinger, one of 10 House Republicans to vote to impeach the then-president in January after the riot at the Capitol, is the second member of that group to say he will retire from Congress, joining Rep. Anthony Gonzalez of Ohio.

Kinzinger has long been an outspoken critic of former President Trump and joins a list of anti-Trump politicans who have decided to not seek reelection.

  1. What choice does he have? His political career was over when he voted against the best president this country has had in decades. I used to think a lot of this congressman due to his military service,but now Im glad hes done.

    1. John
      Now the General public must have not thought that Trump was so good they actually took him out of office by a very wide majority. Now i am a a career Military person, who swore an oath to uphold the Constitution, exactly what Trump never did in any way, even violated the oath of office he took with his hand on a Bible, by violating so many laws, and telling more lies than any President in the history of this Country.

        1. No, not even therapy nor medications can help such stupidity…That kind of ignorance can only be help with a lobotomy but from what I can see from his comment I highly doubt that would even be eough to help such a wretched, soul.
          Only Jesus’ love can open this guy’s eyes, ears, and heart to the truth.

      1. Your comment on former President Trump had my head spinning. He never lied. In fact, he is the only President in modern history that kept his promises to the American people. Bush, Obama and now Biden, lied, and or misled, more then any in recent times.

          1. The Biden regime is taking a wrecking ball, a demolition project to our country! My Father a WWII Vet always warned me about something like this happening, and here it is. The Great Satans, B&B Barack and Biden!!
            He is also implementing the Cloward Piven Strategy!!

      2. What are you using in place of a human brain? SFB’s? Biden violates US laws
        every day as he is trying to undo everything Trump accomplished. How can
        you make such a remark and not choke on your wordsy?

      3. Can you list for me maybe 5 things he lied about? I keep hearing how much Trump lied and I do NOT recall any specific lies. Please enlighten me.

        1. I agree Anita. What lies? The most transparent administration that has ever been since I’ve been alive and that’s 67 years. Promises made, promises kept! He scared the pants off of the communist left and destroyed the communist msm. The man is still FEARED today. And rightly so.

      4. Sorry, but if you are a “career Military person”, then you are of the same mold as Milley. It absolutely amazes me that you accuse President Trump as being a liar, as your entire comment is FULL of lies. We call if “projection”. Plus, if you really are a military man, which I truly doubt, you would have been “fragged” if you had been anywhere near my bunker.

      5. uh huh, so specify examples of how he did not uphold the Constitution or of the many laws he violated. While you’re at it, what lies?, that have not already been debunked or had turned out to be truths>

      6. You must be so “proud” of Biden’s Unilateral Surrender in Afghanistan, and his Open Borders Policy this fool called president is mandating. Yes I too am a Combat Veteran, Purple Heart Recipient, proud we a had a true Commander-in- Chief with President Trump!

      7. I have doubts you were in anything even the cub scouts but I could be wrong. So les assume I am wrong, please tell me a lie or a law he broke. Let’s start with one so we can see where we are, I will be happy to give you a list of laws pedo joey (hell obama) broke. I di look forward to your reply but I know that will not come. Oh and the general public took Trump out or the dems cheating. I suggest you look at AZ forsinic audit and see the laws that the AZ election board broke.

      8. I don’t think anyone has ever told more lies than Bill Clinton did and under oath at that!! Just because there are so many Trump haters does not mean he did not do good for this country. The economy was so much better until the Biden months tore that all to heck. I am paying way too much for groceries these days than I did during Trumps 4 years in office. And the illegals are coming in faster than America can handle. Who we will pay for too, by the way. Biden and his followers are idiots beyond compare.

      9. Thanks 4 ur service but that may have been your problem being a career man!! I bet you think j McCain is a hero also. ( I 2 served honorably for 4 years in usmc)

      10. Did you check out Bho,Jbiden,
        I thank you for your Service,but you got lost somewhere in the MIX.
        Better Retire

  2. The reason that he and other Trump haters are not seeking re-election is because they know they will face harsh primaries and probably lose. Better to retire than to be beaten by a newbie in a primary.

  3. Thank you Lord…. Let’s get a real Republican elected. Now, let’s get Liz to move on out. Come on Wyoming, you can do it…..

  4. Probably has a generous job offer from the Illinois abortion industry after the state legalized murder by repealing it’s last anti-abortion bill on the books.

  5. Good Riddance, he won’t be missed in the least, he and a couple of others should not run for election, they are RINO’S WHO HAVE HURT THE PARTY! PERIOD!

  6. I suppose that any Republican who is not a Trump minion is dead in the water, that does nothing for the good of this USA. A person put in Congress is suppose to do the will of the majority of persons he represents no matter if they are Republican or Democrat things, exactly what the Constitution says should happen.
    What kind of Country would this USA be is there was no give and take in the Constitutional Convention and each side held like rigid steel, to nothing but what they believed this new Country should be.
    It seems to me that so many are trying to turn this into a Religious based country which the founders were so against, exactly why the Bill of rights where it says no religion can become the religion of this USA . and in the letters from Madison, Washington and Jefferson they wanted no part of Religion in the new Country they had formed, and any support of any religion by the Government would indicate that the Government was endorsing a religion which was against the actual Constitution stated.

    1. Yes, Trebor Retsbew you are absolutely correct. However, today’s politics, thanks to democrats, has morphed into partisan politics, and we Republicans need to fight fire with fire. It is a shame that it has boiled down to this but that is what we are faced with today.

  7. The best part of this story is missing… the reason Adam won’t run? He democrat buddies he supported, by voting against Trump, have redistricted him out of a place to run. Which is fine. Old school Republicans who represent rich families (like Adams), who represent the interest of the Chamber of Commerce (open borders and lower wages for all) are now truly represented by the Party of the rich elites; the Democrats, and their plantation serfs.

    Middle class America is now where Republicans reside.

  8. Adam Kinzinger = Trojan Horse full of Democrat’s anger/hate/lies/and attempt to unseat the best President in the history of America! Now, how long will it take him to register in the Dem party? Who really cares!

  9. LISTEN UP….ALL t he RINOS Have GOT to GO. The SOONER the BETTER. From SamuraiQueen. 😄😄😄

  10. What a surprise, either this of having his ass kicked out on Election Day. This is what political suicide looks like. Are you paying attention Liz Chaney, or are too busy picking embarrassing fight with Tucker?

  11. Let me finish the story…

    …he starts a new gig on CNN as a “former” republican and now “Independent”

    The end…

  12. Who the hell cares…he was a Republican in name only. Next week he will be a “dumbacrap.”. he just picks the winning side then cries if things aren’t what he wanted. Bye bye cry baby.

  13. May as well, his choices have been proven to do nothing more then send America backwards! Illinois, really, what more can you expect?

  14. wow… Kinzinger came in as a second Lt. He flew cargo and survilance aircraft. Not sure he has ever even been close to true active duty lof airmrn that are in the conflict. He was an intern for Senator Peter Fitzgerald and like Fitzgerald he broke party lines alot (not necessarily bad but would have to do more research), hence Kinzinger’s breaking party lines and in a big way. He truely is either bought out or not that smart as anyone who believes that the protest on the 6th was a riot or an insuraction, well he is way out of touch with reality. But hey he has to try to make his name and doesn’t care how. I feel so bad for anyone who served under him, but I am not sure he has anyone truely under him, because he would have left them out to dry if it benifited him as I see it. To bad he didn’t have nay realy combat experience but just recurited as a 2nd LT and has no idea of reality. Like so many leaders that have no experience of being lead he is missing alot. As others have said he would be running against another politician that maybe more grounded (if there is truly such a politician) but he knew he would lose so better to leave on top, so to speak

  15. How did a fascist infiltrate a party committed to democracy.
    By the way the Democrats are not Marxist they are FASCISTS just like antifa.

  16. Couldn’t win so he will go to CNN as the “Republican” commentator whose opinions will be the same as the liberal commentators
