LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

Kinzinger made a strange move

I read LZ Granderson’s Jan. 3 column “The lonely exit ofAdam Kinzinger,” about the former Republican congressman from Illinois and the lonely place he must be in, but I question why he picked Texas to move to.

If he were single, what would the politics of the state matter to him? Little, I would think, but he has children to raise in a state that wants to outlaw breathing if it doesn’t suit Gov. Greg Abbott and his Republican cohorts.

How will Kinzinger’s children learn about the courage their father has and fought for, both in war and in the House? How will they not become characters in “The Handmaid’s Tale”?

So why Texas? It has an electric grid that weather could reduce to a Lego structure and bans books that have been accepted for 100 years

For all the good Kinzinger has done, he has not done a fair service for or to his children.
