(CNN) No, Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger of Illinois is not exactly one of his party's most progressive members. Maybe you've seen news of this unseemly family feud that the Kinzinger clan laid before the world this week. Eleven of Kinzinger's relatives signed on, rebuking him for making "horrible, rude accusations of President Trump," and describing him as having joined "the devil's army." "I wanted Adam to be shunned," a cousin, Karen Otto, told the Times, which published the letter Monday. After the letter, he went on to become one of 10 Republicans to vote to impeach Trump for "incitement of insurrection."
