The New York Times published the letter that Rep Adam Kinzinger’s cousins mailed him on January 8th, two days after the Capitol riot and when Kinzinger began calling for Trump’s removal from office. Here’s the letter transcribed by National Zero, as verbatim as possible:
Jan. 8, 2021
Adam,
Oh my, what a disappointment you are to us and to God! We were once so proud of your accomplishments! Instead, you go against your Christian principals and join the “Devil’s army” (Democrats and the fake news media). How do you call yourself a Christian when you join the “devils army” believing in abortion! We thought you were “smart” enough to see how the left is brainwashing so “so called good people” including yourself and many other GOP members. You have even fallen for their socialism ideals!
So, so sad!
President Trump is not perfect, but neither are you or any of us for that matter! Is is not for us to judge of be judged! But he is a Christian! (If God can forgive and use King David in the Bible, He can do the same with President Trump.) Franklin Graham, Robert Jeffries, to just name a few, or many Pastors, who mentor President Trump, know that he is a believer! Obviously you did not hear President Trump’s “Christmas Message” to the American people (fake news media did not cover his message) where he actually gave the plan of salvation, instructing people how to repent and ask the Savior into their heart to be “Born Again”! (To believe in John 3:16) When was the last time you proclaimed your faith Adam? (Oh, we forgot you now belong to the “Devil’s army”) You won’t convince us otherwise with your horrible, rude accusations of President Trump! (To embrace a party that believes in abortion and socialism is the ultimate sin.) We should list even more grievances against you, byt decided you are not worth more of our time to list them. We have said enough!
You should be very proud that you have lost the respect of Lou Dobbs, Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Greg Kelly etc. and most importantly in our book, Mark Levin and Rush Limbaugh and us!
It is most embarrassing to us that we are related to you. You have embarrassed the Kinzinger family name!
We are not judging you. This letter is our opinion of you!
Oh, by the way, good luck in your fund raising endeavors. We know there many other good GOP and Christian supporters, that feel the same way we do. Also very disappointed with the many other GOP that have sided with the Democrats. (We should demand our money back!)
The following Kinzinger family members have asked that their names be added to this letter,
Greg + Karen Otto
[Other names redacted by the Times]P.S. For your information, many more family members, feel the same as we do. They just didn’t have the courage to sign our letter or write their own letter! Not us, we are thoroughly disgusted with you!! And, oh by the way, we are calling for your removal from office! I have received numerous calls concerning your actions and egregious behavior towards our President of the United States, Donald J. Trump!*
cc: Many conservative Republicans
*President Trump has done more for the American people in four years, than you, the Rino’s, and Democrats have done in years!!
