Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) is being pushed aside by not just some of his colleagues, but also his family.
Kinzinger became the first Republican Congressmember to publicly support removing former President Donald Trump following protesters storming the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
Following his call for Trump’s removal, the Illinois lawmaker received a handwritten two-page letter from 11 family members suggesting he was working with “the devil’s army” for breaking with the then-president, according to The New York Times.
The family members wrote, “Oh my, what a disappointment you are to us and to God!”
The letter also read:
“It is now most embarrassing to us that we are related to you. You have embarrassed the Kinzinger family name!”
Kinzinger’s cousin, Karen Otto, who wrote the letter told the Times, “I wanted Adam to be shunned.” Kinzinger saw the letter, according to the Times, after Otto mailed it to Kinzinger’s father. Otto also sent copies of the letter to Republicans across Illinois.
