After news broke a couple of weeks ago that Illinois Democrats were set to effectively eliminate Rep. Adam Kinzinger’s House District, the Congressman who purports to be a “Republican” responded by saying that he and his team would “spend some time looking [the new maps] over and reviewing all of the options, including those outside the House.”
“This redistricting process has been anything but transparent, which comes as no surprise to anyone,” Kinzinger also proclaimed in the statement. “I believe the people of Illinois deserve better.”
Well, he’s right. They do deserve better – better than Adam Kinzinger could give them whether his district was gerrymandered or not.
But just this morning Kinzinger announced he would not be seeking reelection, delighting Republicans of course but also Democrats who Kinzinger really, really, really thought liked him, but didn’t:
Kinzinger announced his decision in a video early Friday, saying the “time is now” to move on.
“My disappointment in the leaders that don’t lead is huge,” he said.
He hinted at other political plans, saying: “I cannot focus on both a reelection to Congress and a broader fight nationwide. I want to make it clear — this isn’t the end of my political future, but the beginning.”
Here’s Kinzinger nearly pulling his shoulder out of its socket patting himself on the back for being the Most Principled Conservative™ of the Trump era:

This is what irony looks like? Had Kinzinger decided to run for reelection, he’d have had to face someone in the GOP primary he’d likely have lost to – staunch Trump ally Rep. Darin LaHood:
Early Friday morning, Illinois’ state Legislature passed a congressional map that drew Kinzinger into the same district with another GOP incumbent, Rep. Darin LaHood, setting up a would-be primary matchup between Kinzinger and LaHood, a more reliable Trump ally in the House.
Just chef’s kiss perfect.
Kinzinger may run to be governor, according to some speculations. While possible, I believe it’s extremely doubtful. Kinzinger is desperate for the kind of affection he gets from liberal cable news networks such as MSNBC and CNN. There he can make nonsense analogies about how the Capitol Riot was exactly like 9/11.

It’s a sad commentary for Kinzinger when even his (former) friends in low places can’t even spare a kind word for him when he takes a bow.
Delicious. It is well-deserved.
Good riddance, Adam Kinzinger. Don’t let the door hit ya on the way out…
