Adam Kinzinger never really cared about conservative values

Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger is at it again. Initially elected to office in 2010 as a Republican, the election of Donald Trump as president in 2016 seemingly broke the congressman from Illinois. Since then, he’s developed an unhealthy obsession with Trump and his supporters, frequently making arrogant or degrading comments about both. It’s only fitting then that at the Principles First Summit last weekend, Kinzinger showed he did not have any.

“But I’m gonna tell you, right off the bat, if it’s Trump against Biden, I’m going to vote for Biden,” Kinzinger said. “Because to me, this is what I think is important — like, I can disagree with a lot of stuff, but democracy is truly at stake here.”
