The only thing that wasn’t certain was whether former Rep. Adam Kinzinger would wind up as a contributor for CNN or MSNBC — it had to be one or the other. We certainly didn’t think we’d have the answer this quickly, but CNN is the lucky winner of Kinzinger’s analysis and insight. Know that CNN will consider Kinzinger one of their “conservative” contributors, just like the Washington Post keeps on staff “conservative” columnists Jennifer Rubin and Max Boot.

Erin Burnett makes it official. Adam Kinzinger is now a senior political commentator for CNN. Selling out his party has paid off for him. Enjoy your new friends, Adam! pic.twitter.com/mbWkwxCXfP

There must have been talks while Kinzinger was still in office for this to happen this quickly.
Whoa, huge shocker

I know it's a cliché for a lot of people to say they're only doing this for a media contract. It also turns out to be true most of the time. https://t.co/xHAT8s87AB

Of course he is. Please don't tell me he is the conservative voice of the network
— Rick (@kimball4) January 5, 2023
He’s the conservative voice of the network.
He’s gonna cry when he sees their ratings.

We have to admit we were caught off guard by the speed at which this was announced.
