Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger divulged this week that "a lot" of his fellow Republicans have privately been encouraging his work on the newly empaneled House Select Committee investigating the causes and events of the Jan. 6 insurrection.
Asked by CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Wednesday whether any of his Republican colleagues had privately endorsed his role on the committee — even while the GOP house leadership has publicly denounced the investigation — Kinzinger was unequivocal.
