“This is no time for silence, not after the past month, not after the past few years. Someone has to tell the truth. Someone has to say what history needs to hear. So here I am, the Republican Party is lost, ”Kinzinger said in a video posted on country1st.com, the website for his new PAC.
“Today’s Republican Party, I’m not a member of it. The GOP I signed up for was based on a foundation of principles and it was filled with hope. We believed a brighter future was just around the corner and we fought tirelessly to get there, ”continued Kinzinger.
Kinzinger was one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump for his role in instigating the January 6 deadly violation of the Capitol and has become an outspoken critic of the former president. He has since said that his vote has left him isolated in his party and that his decision may be ‘terminal’ to his political career.
“My goal in launching Country1st.com with number one is to say look, let’s look at the past four years, how far we’ve come in a bad way. How backward looking we are, how much we walk around with darkness and division. And that’s not the party I ever signed up for. And I think most Republicans have not signed up for that, ”Kinzinger said Chuck Todd

Kinzinger said the website would serve as a “landing pad” for fellow conservatives who feel the same way he feels about the state of the GOP. He characterized his new PAC as a return to “conservative principles and believed that his party” had lost its moral authority in many areas. “
