“Lindsey’s a nice guy, but he’s a RINO. Lindsey’s wrong …. Lindsey Graham doesn’t know what the hell he’s talking about.”

“Madison Cawthorn can invoke coming bloodshed, and Paul Gosar can flirt with white nationalism, and they’re signing a letter asking to have me kicked out of the caucus. This is how far the Republican Party has fallen. They call me a RINO but I haven’t changed. The Republican Party has changed into an authoritarian Trump organization. They’re the RINOs. Trump is a RINO.”
— Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), quoted by The Atlantic.
