In late July 2020, Kinzinger voted to remove Civil War-era statues.[4]
117th United States Congress
Kinzinger was one of only ten Republican representatives to vote in favor of the second Democrat sham impeachment against President Trump,[5] which he later admitted "could very well be terminal to my career."[6] He stated in an interview with the Washington Post in late January 2021 that he felt "very isolated and very lonely" in the Republican Party.[7] He soon launched a super PAC to oppose Trump within the Republican Party.[8]
