That is not true. He was against Trump's election lies, the QAnon stuff, after janauary 6. he called on Mike Pence to pull a 25th amendment vote to remove Trump and he voted to impeach him and he voted to hold Bannon in contempt. He had 2 years left in office and he knew very well that his future in the gop would be destroyed starting from next election.
he genuinely looks like a very conservative guy who had enough of the GoP's bullshit and he took the sacrifice, which is an honorable thing. Or we can be cynical and say that he wanted to leave politics anyway, but that's just an assumption.
Former GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) blasted House Speaker Kevin McCarthy in a new interview this week, calling the California lawmaker a "piece of sh*t" who will "say whatever he needs to say to stay in power."  
Kinzinger called McCarthy a "piece of sh*t" while casting doubt that McCarthy would remove embattled Rep. George Santos from his committee assignments given the party's narrow majority in the chamber. >

I’m sure most of voters for Santos feel betrayed. It’s a swing district so there’s a good chance it will go Democratic so definitely not. >


voters for Santos feel betrayed

...hoodwinked, bamboozled, lead astray, run amok and flat out deceived. >

I understand from a voters perspective but how did the democrats not uncover this prior to election day? Seems like pretty poor campaign management. >

He’s a republican. How did the GOP (ya know, the party he’s joining) not properly vet him as a candidate? >

How is the gop not in charge here? 
Couldn’t they revoke his r status and make him an independent?
At the end of the day this falls on the R’s. It’s their party he’s a part of. >

Pretty much every fucked up aspect of this stupid ass country falls on the R's.  They don't give a fuck. >

It's Friday. Perhaps a motion to remove him as speaker is in order? >

Pledge, prayer, motion to remove the speaker. >

He's just not ready to be president of the Ag hall. >

Grade-A piece of shit >

5.15 inches from the base. >

Allegedly >

Kinzinger's fellow former IL GOP REP Rodney Davis thinks the same thing, but he's too cowardly to say it.  Rodney Davis.  Dude got to congress attacking "Obamacare", couldn't find a spine during Trump and lost his primary to someone who literally fawned on Hitler. >

Fucking hate Rodney Davis >

CNN brought him on during the Speaker votes and it was yucky!  The man lost a Hitler lover and she voted against McCarthy for speaker.  LMAO! >

Kinzinger - the only truthful republican.   Disagree on his politics, but can't call him a liar like the rest. >

Same.  There are some decent Republicans.  Can't agree with their politics, but they don't want to see the country burn. Which I think is a good quality in a politician. >

Many of the decent Republicans are being pushed out by the lunatic far right.  Moderates need to take back their party. >

A majority of Republicans are the lunatic far right. That's how the lunatic far right has taken over.
The only way out is if the moderates leave the Republican Party and it dies like the Whigs so that something better can take its place. >


A majority of Republicans are  the lunatic far right.

I think the majority is letting the looney-toons drive the party. >

The majority support Trump. >

McCarthy's hair is definitely slicked back. >

The leader of the Dangerous Nights crew. >

Lives for New Year's Eve. >

Sloppy steaks at Gervanni's. >

I used to be a piece of shit.  People can change! >

Damn I like Kinzinger more each day! >

If only he would realize conservatism is a bankrupt ideology and become a liberal. Then he'd make for a great Democrat. >

From a European perspective, most of the Democrats are pretty conservative anyhow, while the GOP clearly resembles any fascist party. >

That is actually incorrect. Based on independent analysis (from the Germany-based Manifesto Project; I can provide a chart if necessary, but it's a hassle to get to), the Democratic Party is a pretty normal center-to-center-left party (similar to the Lib Dems in the UK and Labor in Australia, and to the left of Canada's Liberals).
But American Republicans are so far right compared to even the rightmost mainstream conservative parties, it makes it incredibly hard for Democrats to actually act on their ideology. (Which is why you see Democrats seizing opportunities they DO get to do as much as possible, like when Democrats got a trifecta in Virginia for the first time in decades and passed more significant legislation in 2 years than had been passed in the 20 before.)
The polarization of the two major parties in America is unlike pretty much any other developed country. The only other one I can think of is Brazil. >

That has a good graph taken from the Manifesto Project, but it's, unfortunately, paywalled. :( >

McCarthy thanked the most powerful domestic terrorist in America for his help in securing his speakership. >

It just proves any honesty gets you kicked out of the Republican club. >

I concur >

Well, Kevin is going to put ~~Anthony Devolder~~ George Santos on committees. Oh, don’t panic, not the “big ones”, just the ones vacated by Lauren Boebert while she serves on the “big ones” >

No shit, Sherlock! >

It is true >

It's true... >

A little louder for the Reps in the back! >

To be fair, McCarthy is more than just a piece of shit.
He's a piece of shit that HAS TO stand there and smile while being called a piece of shit because if he doesn't he will be ejected. And he chose for it to be that way. >

California lawmaker a "piece of sh*t" who will "say whatever he needs to say to stay in power."
Awesome news. With only 33% turnout in Kern County and a district win only because California unilaterally disarmed from partisan gerrymandering we can own McCarthy! >

Shit is useful.
McCarthy is not. >

Agreed. There is no better word/term for a person who would fuck over the entire country in order to make himself feel a little bit better for a month or 2. >

Honesty, this is a very well thought out and accurate point. Couldn’t agree more. >

No argument here. >

We know. >

Kinzinger didn't mince his words.  I wish him well as a "journalist". >

He’s not lying. >

If this is the kind of stuff he’s going to say now that he’s out of Congress they should give him a radio show immediately. >

If I were a Republican (I’m a Canadian so it’s inherently impossible) this guy and Cheney would be my heroes. >

He’s just trying to save his image now that he’s retired so he’s not one of the assholes who
Voted lock step with the biggest fucking idiot to ever lead this country. Same with Cheney. They can all get trapped in a bus fire for all I care. They definitely don’t deserve your praise. They’re pretending to not be MAGA anymore, but they’re still Neo-Cons and pure corporate servants. >

to be fair, McCarthy IS a piece of shit >

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I disagree with Kinzinger on almost every social and political point, but I respect the man for being transparent and righteous. He is an archetype of what politics should be: disagreements with people that we could still share a dinner table with. >

mcmurray is a piece of shit >

I could go for one of those cock suckin’ G and Ts though. >

Every time I see Kevin McCarthy, I think of Worm Jerry >

Republicans never speak up until they are out of office.  It's funny how they call liberals "sheep"while they themselves endure constant humiliation to protect their superiors. At least the left isn't afraid to talk shit about the party hierarchy while they are in office. It must have something to do with the people who elect them. Maybe all these self-proclaimed "alphas" need to grow a nutsack and stop being lemmings. >

Kinzinger spent the past two years as one of the loudest critics of Trump and the Republican party. He literally blew his chances of winning the primary to keep his seat by being outspoken. He was censured by the local Republican party for his actions. >

He lost his chances at the primary because he got redistricted into a Democratic district.
But he likely would have also been primaried for being a "not MAGA enough". >

Well obviously. >

Now this is a headline I can get behind >

Adam is objectively correct. >

Kinzinger should run for President >

Amen. >

Preaching to the choir. >

I am not a republican. That being said I will vote for this man for assorted offices here. >

No he’s not- he’s the entire turd. >

Couldn't have said it better. >

Kinzinger is so bold now that he’s retired. We all know McCarthy (and you) are pieces of shit. You were fine voting with Trump’s bullshit until it was time to save your image.
Spare me the fucking theatrics. >

It’s the truth. It’s obvious to everyone not in the cult of the GOP. >

God I love him so much >

He’s not wrong >

Hey Adam, how was your voting record in comparison to McCarthy? Did you vote against him or with him most of the time? >

Thank you.  Let’s not just praise him for his new found courage.  He voted pretty much under the party line.  It just happened his party moved further right and kicked him out >

I mean true, why is this news >

I'm really tired of these "person says something about someone else" articles. This isn't news. >

So is McMurray. >

McMurry’s a piece of shit >

He’s not wrong >

Even Matt Gaetz called him out for being a shameless opportunist. Which is saying something. >

Adam Kinzinger doesn't believe in marriage equality. His whole aww-shucks attitude is the also fakery. He also voted against the john lewis voting rights act. All of these fucking R's are "piece(s) of sh*t" >

He literally voted for the Respect for Marriage Act this past July. He has also consistently voted in favor of bills punishing sexuality-based discrimination.
He did not vote on the Respect for Marriage Act in December, and was also not present. As far as I'm aware he peaced out towards the end and his vote wasn't needed anyway.
He has also consistently voted to ensure abortion rights and fund planned parenthood.
Aside from wanting to repeal Obama care, he is practically a conservative Democrat. 
He is almost to a T the definition of a moderate republican. >

Kinzinger is insignificant. Why is anyone still paying attention to this guy? His only legacy is being a shade less irrational than his party. >

Add Liz Cheney’s lap dog. >

We can have a civil discussion about Rep Kinzinger calling McCarthy a pos >

Kinzinger is a piece of shit. >

McCarthy: Kinzinger is irrelevant >

Thanks Axios. I needed the chuckle. >

Good to see but let’s not forget he’s gone and only now he decides to start calling the shit out. He’s complicit but at least semi-principled
