“Many were very direct in saying that their support for the Republican Party would end if Congressman Kinzinger’s behavior was not addressed,” continued Smith. “Although our Central Committee is not known for political activism and we have always supported Republicans at all levels, Congressman Kinzinger’s actions and statements against former President Trump opened a Pandora’s box of criticism.”
