<p>Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), a congressman with more than half a million followers, posted a screenshot of Facebook criticism from his former co-pilot on Twitter and accused him of &#8220;allegiance to Trump over his oath to the constitution.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Illinois Republican&#8217;s membership on the Democrat-led January 6 committee investigating former President Donald Trump&#8217;s alleged role in the Capitol riot has sparked strong condemnation from his critics.</p>
<p>This includes a man who reportedly served as Kinzinger&#8217;s co-pilot in Iraq, Jeff Surran, who the congressman said now works as an airline pilot. Kinzinger did not mention what airline Surran flies for, but the congressman&#8217;s post quickly prompted some users to say that Surran is employed by JetBlue.</p>
<p>&#8220;So we have a member on here who was partly responsible for the former President of the United States residence being stormed by the FBI today,&#8221; Surran posted in a private Facebook group that Kinzinger appears to be part of. &#8220;I say f*** that anti American POS. I wish I never met him or flew with him. He is a disgrace to this country and this group.&#8221;</p>
<p>Kinzinger posted a screenshot of the Facebook post, taken apparently seven minutes after Surran initially posted and before anyone had liked the post.</p>
<p>&#8220;This guy, Jeff Suran, was my copilot in Iraq and now an airline pilot,&#8221; Kinzinger tweeted. &#8220;He has allegiance to Trump over his oath to the constitution.&#8221;</p>
<p>https://twitter.com/AdamKinzinger/status/1556842476589223941</p>
<p>Kinzinger&#8217;s Twitter post prompted some users to <a href="https://twitter.com/Art72903458/status/1556889692246683648">begin tweeting</a> at JetBlue and criticize Surran for his opinions. However, others praised Surran, letting JetBlue know that they would make the airline &#8220;<span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">our first choice for air travel for hiring such great, patriotic, veteran pilots.&#8221; </span></p>
<p>Kinzinger did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Daily Wire as to why he posted about Surran and whether the post was intended to impact Surran&#8217;s employment. Surran could not immediately be reached for comment.</p>
