GOP Rep: “Dangerous Populists” Have Taken Over GOP

“We’ve gone from a time when the Tea Party stood for conservative principles for constitutional principles, to a time where the populists have taken over the Republican Party and are really advocating things that I believe are very dangerous.

“The MAGA crowd ran a primary against me last time I won 75-25. I’m not concerned about primary, I’m not concerned about losing a general election.

“You know, the time is right. I’m at a point in my life where I want to do different things.

“I want to enjoy my family more, I want to be less business travel and more recreational travel. There are a lot of things that went into the decision.

“But really we’re at a time in American politics, that I am not going to lie on behalf of my presidential candidate on behalf of my party.

“And I’m very sad that others in my party have taken the position that, as long as we get the White House, it doesn’t really matter what we say.” – GOP Rep. Ken Buck, on his decision to retire.

There he goes again, telling the truth.
