GOP Lawmaker Deployed to Southern Border

Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) is being deployed to the southern border with an Air Force National Guard Unit, CNN reports.

“Prior to Kinzinger’s election to Congress, he served in the Air Force and was commissioned as a second lieutenant in November 2003. He served in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.”

“Whether members of Congress can serve in active duty has been a source of controversy in the past.”
