Representative Adam Kinzinger of Illinois.
GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois (click here) on Sunday said that even if a bipartisan commission to create a January 6 commission isn't approved by the Senate, the Capitol riot will still be a factor in the 2022 midterm elections if the GOP doesn't "take ownership for what happened."
During an appearance on "Fox News Sunday," Kinzinger, who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump for his role in the riot and supports the commission, was asked by host Chris Wallace if the Democratic-led legislative push was a way to keep the issue in the public sphere ahead of the elections.

Kinzinger said that Republican voters have "had their patriotism abused by somebody that simply wants to use it to maintain power."...
