Read the scathing letter from GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger’s ‘disgusted’ family members disowning him for going against Trump – By Nicole Lyn Pesce (Marketwatch) / Feb 16 2021
This Illinois Republican is being shunned by both his family and his party.
Eleven of Rep. Adam Kinzinger’s relatives signed and delivered a handwritten, two-page letter calling him a “disgrace” and “embarrassment” to the family name last month, outraged over his calls for former President Trump’s removal from office following the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
In the letter shared with the New York Times, the furious family members call for Kinzinger’s own removal from office, and accuse him of joining the “devil’s army,” which they describe as “Democrats and the fake news media.”
Kinzinger’s cousin, Karen Otto, told the paper that she paid $7 to send the letter by certified mail to the lawmaker’s father, and also mailed copies to members of the Illinois congressional delegation, because “I wanted Adam to be shunned.”
