He's always been on the team. This is another version of politicians getting lobbying jobs. Now democrats have a job at CNN or MSNBC waiting for them. https://t.co/yeDMBKJjh4

The announcement was made after Kinzinger’s term in Congress came to an end this week.

During an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Kinzinger shared he would not be missing his job.

“I’m not going to miss the job. I’m glad I’m not going to be back. It gives me time to focus on broader things, bigger fights,” Kinzinger said.

He reflected on the criticism he has previously received throughout his career.

“I’ve had extended family that sent me letters telling me I was working on behalf of Satan. I mean that’s not something I could have imagined,” Kinzinger said.

He explained, “What that does to me is it reminds me of just how bad of a place we’ve gotten to. And you know everybody in their life, and I was no different when I was a young guy, you know, you always imagine a moment where you can stand alone and where you’re like the one person that — that can do the right thing in a crowd, right.”

Finally, Kinzinger declared he would not “have done anything different.”
