— KINZINGER, CHENEY and CENSURE – SHIA KAPOS and MARIA CARRASCO

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Rep. Adam Kinzinger unloaded on House GOP leaders Wednesday as Republicans in Illinois’ LaSalle County announced they’d voted “overwhelmingly” to censure him for his vote to impeach former President Donald Trump. The Illinois congressman has become a symbol of the schism within the GOP both in Illinois and in Congress as Republicans try to grapple with Trump’s influence on the party. Kinzinger says he’s worried the GOP is headed down a dangerous path and he’s flooded the airwaves saying so. During a tense House GOP conference meeting that ran more than four hours, Kinzinger “unleashed hell” on Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy for spending more time defending pro-Trumper Marjorie Taylor Greene than Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, calling it “embarrassing,” according to a source familiar with the day’s action. Ultimately, McCarthy offered “a full-throated defense” of Cheney, and the caucus voted to let her keep her leadership position on a 2-1 margin, according to POLITICO’s Melanie Zanona and Olivia Beavers. And POLITICO’s national Playbook reports Greene walked back some of her over-the-top claims of bowing to QAnon. The meeting wrapped up with Republicans taking the view that Cheney had a right to vote her conscience when she (and Kinzinger) sided with Democrats to impeach Trump for his role in inciting the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Meanwhile, the full House will vote today on a measure to remove Greene from her committee assignments. Closer to home, members of the LaSalle County Republican Central Committee voted 88 percent in favor of censuring Kinzinger, Chairman Larry Smith said in a statement Wednesday night. Two reasons were cited for censure: Kinzinger has not met with the La Salle Republican in over six years and that he was one of 10 Republican representatives to call for impeachment. The censure disavows Kinzinger “for acting contrary to the values” of La Salle County Republicans, Smith said. A similar resolution for censure is being presented to the Winnebago County Republican Central Committee, reports the Rockford Register Star. In a statement to Playbook, Kinzinger spokeswoman Maura Gillespie responded: “While Capitol Police Officer [Brian] Sicknick was being honored in state for his ultimate sacrifice — defending our democracy — the LaSalle County GOP was condemning Congressman Kinzinger for trying to hold the president accountable for the actions that led to his death.”)

— LaSalle County GOP censures Kinzinger; state GOP could soon – Rick Koshko
https://www.1430wcmy.com/2021/02/03/lasalle-county-gop-censures-cong-kinzinger-state-gop-could-soon/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The LaSalle County Republican Party reports its central committee has voted, with 88% of members agreeing, to censure Cong. Adam Kinzinger. The party disapproves of him for not meeting with the central committee in the last six years and for voting to impeach Pres. Trump. Chairman Larry Smith says the party has received hundreds of messages via text, email, and telephone from LaSalle County and beyond about Kinzinger. Censure is a strong statement of disapproval. It doesn’t remove Kinzinger from office or boot him out of the party. The message behind it says the party’s most ardent supporters won’t support him. That increases his vulnerability if someone runs against him in a primary or if he wants to use party resources in a campaign. The LaSalle County Republican Party Central Committee met Tuesday night. The Chicago Tribune reports the Illinois GOP could consider a censure motion against Kinzinger this Saturday.)

— LaSalle County GOP leaders vote to censure Kinzinger – Howard Packowitz
https://week.com/2021/02/04/lasalle-county-gop-leaders-vote-to-censure-kinzinger/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republicans who organized a rally in Ottawa last weekend against U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Channahon) has now censured him for supporting former President Donald Trump’s impeachment. The LaSalle County Republican Central Committee sent out a news release via social media Wednesday night announcing 88% of its precinct committeemen voted to reprimand the McLean County native. At their regular monthly meeting in Ottawa, committeemen repeatedly noted Kinzinger was one of only 10 Republican House members who voted with Democrats to impeach Trump, and the Congressman has not met with the central committee for more than six years. “Congressman Kinzinger’s actions and statements against former President Trump have opened a Pandora’s Box of criticism,” said Larry Smith, the county’s GOP chair, in a prepared statement. “The LaSalle County Republicans have received hundreds upon hundreds of emails, text messages, and phone calls from our county and beyond expressing their frustration and a lot more with Congressman Kinzinger’s actions and statements the past few months,” said Smith. “Many have been very direct that their support for the Republican Party is over if Congressman Kinzinger’s behavior isn’t addressed,” Smith also said. Smith claims more than 40 county Republican Central Committees statewide have given their “unsolicited support” for the censure. Kinzinger represents Illinois’ 16th Congressional District, which includes LaSalle, Livingston, Bureau, and Putnam Counties.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— How Republicans at home view Kinzinger’s anti-Trump ‘Country First’ movement – LISA DONOVAN
https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-obama-groundbreaking-kinzinger-home-district-legislature-spin-20210204-bsqt2qppozcsfbi4xdvttkejy4-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Days after Kinzinger launched his national effort to recalibrate a national Republican Party whose unofficial leader remains former President Trump, he was asked how his efforts have been received among constituents in his district back home in Illinois. The five-term congressman from Channahon, southwest of Joliet, told viewers of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that “the Republican base (is) pretty ticked off at me.” Of late, he’s taken a fatalistic view that his congressional career may be on the ropes because of his anti-Trump stance. But he also expressed some optimism on MSNBC. Winning with 64.7% of the vote last fall, Kinzinger points out that he finished 15 percentage points ahead of Trump, who lost to Joe Biden with 40.55% of the vote in Illinois. To Kinzinger, his margin of victory suggests he has more than loyal Republicans in his camp. “I think what that shows is that Democrats will still be open to voting for you,” Kinzinger said, while acknowledging, “Independents and Republicans that we’ve lost won’t.” Here’s what he didn’t say: As the Tribune’s Rick Pearson reported over the weekend, the Republican State Central Committee meets Saturday to pick a new state GOP chair, and some in the party want to use the forum to discuss Kinzinger and a possible reprimand for his anti-Trump statements. A member of the Winnebago County Republican Central Committee is pushing to censure Kinzinger, which would be nothing more than a public scolding, the Rockford Register Star and Springfield’s Capitol Fax politics blog reported last month. But it could mean GOP leaders in Winnebago County, part of the 16th District, will turn their backs on Kinzinger in the next election. Remap factor: “In 2022, Kinzinger faces a year in which Illinois’ congressional districts will be redrawn by Democrats to reflect the outcome of this year’s census — amid predictions that one or possibly two of the state’s 18 House seats will be eliminated,” Pearson reminds in this December piece that examines Kinzinger’s political horizons — which could include a bid for governor next year. Shrugging it off: “And if it costs us an election, great, because what that gives us an opportunity to do is to resell to the American people what the conservative vision is, and we need to quit being scared of this and lead again for once in some of our lives,” Kinzinger told MSNBC.)
