Rep. Adam Kinzinger isn’t exactly the most popular GOP congressman right now, at least among Republicans.
This isn’t likely to boost his credibility on the Right:

It’s definitely possible to make a compelling case that what happened on January 6 was horrible (because, well, it was). But when your critics are accusing you of political theatrics, it’s generally best not to engage in what appear to be political theatrics.

Rep. Adam Kinzinger says that the difference between Jan 6 and BLM/antifa riots that occurred last summer is that "there is a difference between breaking the law and rejecting the rule of law, between a crime — even grave crimes — and a coup." pic.twitter.com/85OBUmuZ3M

Newsflash:
it's possible to be against BLM riots and Capitol riots and it's not even particularly difficult
