I just have no desire really to reach out and repair it, that's up to them," he said.

The Illinois Republican characterized the vast majority of his family as "good family members" even if a chasm of disagreement over the former President is currently separating them.

The rift between Kinzinger and his family is symbolic of the broader debate the Republican Party is having over what role Trump should have in the future of the GOP, specifically, whether the party should run toward or from the former President.

"If you think the Donald Trump thing in the long term is going to be the winning coalition and not somebody like me that's conservative but doesn't offend people, and doesn't go out and attack and say that you owe me everything, and doesn't incite insurrections -- then we'll be a minority party forever," Kinzinger told CNN's Chris Cuomo.

As some of his fellow members have flown down to the former President's Mar-a-Lago property to pledge their allegiance, Kinzinger did not mince words about the need to distance the party from Trump.
