GOP Rep. Ken Buck To Retire, Cites Cultist Election Lies

November 1, 2023 Politics, Republicans

The New York Times reports:

Representative Ken Buck, a conservative Colorado Republican who played a central role in ousting Kevin McCarthy from the speakership, said he will not seek re-election next year, citing his party’s election denialism and many members’ refusal to condemn the Jan. 6. 2021, assault on the Capitol.

Mr. Buck, serving his fifth term from a sprawling district east of Denver after a career as a prosecutor, said he had decided to step aside because his differences with the contemporary Republican Party had grown too great to continue serving in its ranks. He condemned his party’s reluctance to take on big issues and said it had badly damaged itself with voters.

“We lost our way,” said Mr. Buck, 64, who announced his intentions in interviews and a video news release. “We have an identity crisis in the Republican Party. If we can’t address the election denier issue and we continue down that path, we won’t have credibility with the American people that we are going to solve problems.”

He first appeared here in 2010 when as a US Senate candidate, he declared that homosexuality is a choice, like alcoholism is. As with GOP Rep. Kay Granger’s retirement, the cult is celebrating Buck hitting the exit. Buck has a 0% rating on LGBTQ issues from the Human Rights Campaign.
