Recently, film director Steve Pink released The Last Republican, a documentary focusing on the last year of Adam Kinzinger’s time in Congress. As friends of The Contrarian may know, Kinzinger was one of only 10 Republicans who voted to impeach Trump for instigating the January 6 Capitol riot. Similarly, he was one of two Republicans who served on The Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol.

Jen sat down with Kinzinger to discuss what compelled him to agree to be the star character in the documentary, especially given Pink’s more left-leaning politics. Also discussed is Kinzinger’s near-death experience saving a woman’s life, Pete Hegseth’s disastrous Quantico meeting, and how to best support veterans as they assimilate back into civilian life.

Adam Kinzinger is a former (a word he relishes) member of Congress from Illinois and was one of two Republican members who sat on the January 6th Committee. Make sure to keep up with Adam on his own Substack here.
