GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger On Taking On Trump: "It Could Be A Kamikaze Mission" Or It Could Save The GOP

CNN's Jeff Zeleny speaks to Rep. Adam Kinzinger, an outspoken critic of former President Trump, about some of the backlash he has received since voting to impeach Trump and his political future.

"It could be a kamikaze mission," he said. "It also could be the thing that saves the Republican Party."

"Anytime in the history of the party, there have been competing visions, except for now. It's just been Donald Trump's vision and nobody else has said anything else. We have a right and a responsibility to offer competing visions to Republicans."


"It is time to grow up to be adults here," Kinzinger said. "And I mean even if I don't survive long in this job, the reality is I will have been part of history. I hope to be a good part of history."

"I think until you're willing to put your job on the line, like in warfare, until you're willing to put your life on the line, when you're willing to put your job on the line, then you're free," he said.
