Cultist GOP Rep. Mark Green Won’t Seek Reelection

Politico reports:

House Homeland Security Chair Mark Green is expected to announce plans to retire as early as Thursday, marking a surprise exit for a prominent committee chief.

Green is expected to announce he will not seek reelection just days after he spearheaded the GOP push to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, according to two Republicans familiar with his plans. His exit is already coming as a shock to his colleagues given the win he’d notched with the Mayorkas vote.

Green demurred during a brief Wednesday interview when asked if he planned to retire. “Today, I am running for election,” Green told POLITICO, while declining to discuss the matter further. He later confirmed his resignation to Axios.

Now in his third term, Green, an election-denier, anti-vaxxer, and creationist, was among the 126 House Republicans who signed a Supreme Court brief in support of a lawsuit seeking to overturn Biden’s win. As a Tennessee state rep, Green sought to prevent same-sex marriages from being recognized. Green, who has a 0% rating on LGBTQ issues by Human Rights Campaign, has publicly called trans people “diseased.”

“This place is so broken.”
