House Speaker Mike Johnson had no idea Representative Ken Buck is quitting, as the GOP is in complete shambles.
Representative Ken Buck took to social media to announce his near-immediate leave from Congress, resigning so fast that even his party leaders were caught off guard by the decision.
“Today, I am announcing that I will depart Congress at the end of next week,” Buck said in a statement on Tuesday. “I look forward to staying involved in our political process, as well as spending more time in Colorado with my family.”
The less-than-two-weeks notice took practically everybody by surprise, including (or maybe especially) House Speaker Mike Johnson.
“I was surprised by Ken’s announcement,” Johnson told a crush of reporters inside the Capitol building. “I look forward to talking to him about that.”
“I didn’t know,” he added.
I guess he couldn’t get ahold of him, so he left a voice message on his phone.
Johnson doesn’t have cell service because he didn’t pay the bill, as he doesn’t have any bank accounts.
Serious though, Congress provides phone service through office expense accounts. So yeah, he has one he doesn’t pay for.
I figured he would have something, just didn’t wanted to pass up the opportunity that him not having bank accounts is sketchy af, making him a liability for this country, and potentially an asset to another.
He was too busy sharing his porn habits with his son.
