“Now is not the time for silence, neither after last month, nor after the last few years. Someone has to tell the truth. Someone needs to say what the story needs to hear. So here I am, the Republican Party has lost its way, ”Kinzinger said in a video posted to country1st.com, the website for its new PAC.

“Today’s Republican Party is not the one I joined. The GOP I signed up for was built on a principled basis and it was filled with hope. We thought a better future was just around the corner and we fought tirelessly to make it happen, ”Kinzinger continued.

Kinzinger was one of 10 House Republicans to vote to impeach Trump for his role in inciting the murderous violation of the Capitol on January 6 and has become an open critic of the former president. He has since said his vote had led him to be isolated within his party and said his decision could be “terminal” for his political career.

“My goal in starting Country1st.com with number one is just to say, look, let’s take a look at the last four years, how far we’ve come in a bad way. As we look back, how much we peddle darkness and division. And that’s not the party I’ve ever signed up for.
