Soon-to-be unemployed Representative Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) said in a recent interview that he “would love” to run against Donald Trump in 2024, and it doesn’t appear his statement was an attempt at self-deprecating humor.

Kinzinger recently agreed to an interview with the left-wing rag HuffPost after an unrelated documentary crew trailed him around the University of Chicago for two weeks and which culminated in an April 18 puff piece filled with syrupy praise for the former Air Force pilot, whom many critics see as a RINO of the first division.

The purpose of his speaking engagement at the U. of Chicago was, naturally, to speak on what he and so many ponderous acolytes of the Democratic Party say is the rise of disinformation coming from the political right.
