It’s not 100 percent clear but it sounds like Ken Buck was set off by Tuesday’s shitshow of a House Judiciary Committee hearing starring former Biden docs fuckup special counsel Robert K Hur as the final straw in his decision to resign about ten months before he was going to retire.
Politico’s Olivia Beavers reported at 2:17 PM EDT that Jesus dork Speaker Mike Johnson told her that Buck had not given him the heads-up on his resignation and that Johnson looks forward to chatting with him. Beavers then followed up with Buck’s office and a spokesperson told her that Buck did in fact leave a voicemail with the Speaker. So who knows what would’ve happened had Johnson actually picked up the phone when one of his members was calling him. Maybe not the above interview – or the resignation at all. Maybe Johnson could’ve talked him off the ledge. Oh well.
