Kinzinger, back when Trump was first elected in 2017, voted heavily in favor of him back during his tenure in the 115th Congress. The only non-partisan vote was when he voted for sanctions to be placed on Iran, North Korea, and Russia. Back then here, our usual bunch on A&H would have definitely called him a Trump asskisser.
In the Congress, his votes would drift more apart, but he still held close to most of the partisanship. He even voted against the first impeachment. However, he did block the Syria withdrawal. The current Congress, as President Trump prepared to left office, he completely opposed election challenges and voted to impeach the President. Overall, it's hard as fuck to track when the guy broke away from Trump.
He even supported the Soleimani assassination:

He failed bigly considering the he made this tweet over Trump retweeting a guy saying civil war will come if they try to remove him from office:
