b"After Kara and Nayeema discuss Dianne Feinstein\\u2019s death and her legacy as a leader, we turn to Kara's interview with Adam Kinzinger. The former Republican congressman has said he would only vote for Trump in one scenario: if his opponent were Satan.\\nOnce a rising star in the Tea Party, Kinzinger is now a leading voice inside the GOP\\u2019s anti-Trump cohort. He was one of only ten House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump after January 6, 2021 \\u2014 and, like many of his peers, he paid a high price: his seat in Congress.\\nWe discuss whether his political sacrifice was worth it, what happens in the \\u201cTrump Resistance\\u201d text chain and why so many Republicans won\\u2019t come out against Trump \\u2014 even when they see him as a threat to democracy.\\xa0\\nThis conversation was taped live at the Texas Tribune Festival on September 22, 2023.\\xa0\\nQuestions or comments?
