Liz Cheney was defeated in the GOP primary in her bid for a to represent Wyoming for a fourth bid in the US House of Representatives because she voted for the impeachment of President Trump and is vice chairperson on the January 6 commission. Adam Kinzinger also voted to impeach President Trump and opted out of seeking re-election to the House of Representatives from Illinois.
Nonetheless, they are not the same person. We know that one wants the report of the insurrection to be about three things: Donald Trump, Donald Trump, and Donald Trump. We don't know of the preference of the other Republican congressman on the committee, but he clearly believes there is something rotten about the GOP that goes beyond the former President.
Hey @Liz_Cheney, has @GOPLeader condemned this yet?

Or nah? https://t.co/mAyzQWlxm4
Cheney and Kinzinger were responding to news that
Former President Donald Trump had dinner Tuesday at his Mar-a-Lago estate with white nationalist Nick Fuentes and rapper Kanye West, a Trump adviser confirmed to CBS News on Friday….
Fuentes is a leading figure on the far-right, having
attended the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville in 2017 and
the "Stop the Steal" rally on Jan. 6. Fuentes, who has spread
antisemitic conspiracies, is considered a white supremacist by the
Anti-Defamation League. According to the ADL, "Fuentes 'jokingly' denied
the Holocaust and compared Jews burnt in concentration camps to cookies in an
oven."
I don't know Adam Kinzinger's mind. However, when someone says "or nah," it's a rhetorical question and a little snide, for which we should agree: good on Adam. Kinzinger. He already knew the answer, and it's an emphatic "no."
It's a reminder that if Kevin McCarthy does become Speaker of the House, it will be only as the de jure Speaker. We all know the de facto Speaker will be the greatest liar in American political history, the man who has retired the award.
