Illinois county GOP censures Kinzinger over Trump impeachment

The GOP group from an Illinois county represented in Congress by Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) has officially moved to censure the congressman for voting in favor of impeaching former President Trump last month.

The La Salle County Republican Central Committee announced in a press release late Wednesday that more than 88 percent of the group voted in favor of censuring Kinzinger, who has emerged as a prominent Trump critic, adding that the committee “has received unsolicited support for the censure from over 40 county Republican Central Committees around the state of Illinois.”

The committee’s statement says that the censure “disavows Rep. Kinzinger for acting contrary to the values of the La Salle County Republican Central Committee.”


The group’s chairman, Larry Smith, added in a statement that he had received “hundreds upon hundreds” of emails, texts and phone calls from within the county and beyond “expressing their frustration and a lot more with Congressman Kinzinger’s actions and statements the past few months.”

“Many have been very direct that their support for the Republican Party is over if Congressman Kinzinger’s behavior isn’t addressed,” Smith continued. “Though our Central Committee is not noted for political activism and we have always supported Republicans at every level, Congressman Kinzinger’s actions and statement against former President Trump have opened a Pandora’s Box of criticism.”
