Kinzinger's Family Considers Him 'A Disappointment:' Reports

CHANNAHON, IL — Several members of Channahon Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger's own family are so displeased with his outspokenness toward his own political party and former President Trump that several of them signed a letter calling Kinzinger a disappointment to God.

NBC Channel 5 in Chicago reports that the letter ripping Kinzinger was also sent to several prominent Republicans in Illinois. According to NBC, 11 relatives of Kinzinger sent him a handwritten two-page letter, saying he was in cahoots with "the devil's army" after calling for Trump's removal from office by impeachment.

A New York Times article, published Feb. 15, stated the author of the letter was Kinzinger's cousin, Karen Otto. “Oh my, what a disappointment you are to us and to God!” her letter wrote, according to The New York Times. “You have embarrassed the Kinzinger family name!”

This week's lengthy article in The New York Times was headlined: "Adam Kinzinger’s Lonely Mission."

"Censured by his party and shunned by family members, Mr. Kinzinger, a six-term Illinois congressman, is pressing Republicans to leave Donald Trump behind — and risking his career doing so," The Times wrote.

According to NBC in Chicago, the LaSalle County Republican Central Committee has censured Kinzinger over his vote to impeach the former president and other counties in Kinzinger’s district are expected to censure him in the coming weeks as well.
