Good riddance to another GOP snake in the grass.

As the book says everything Trump touchs dies.

This guy helped destroy the nation. One of the most despicable politicians in American history.

[Sherri-ujoy]

Senators Need term limits! Nobody should be in Washington for 20+ years

[randomaxe]

Peter King "wants to spend more time with his family" now that his kids are adults.

[jzamb]

His tongue is so blistered from all the bootlicking that he has to retire to let it heal.

So the congressman has already "voted" against impeachment before the hearings start? Would I be picked for jury duty if I told the judge the same?

[NijimaSan]

Retirement won't save the legacies of these traitor/collaborators.

[KA-eusy]

Good, another R is leaving. Go and hide.

[shaniquamar]

Gotta love an “impartial “ jury-this guy already knows how he’s going to vote without hearing any evidence....

[thesecretgardengal]

Another monster slithering his way out of the swamp.

[Cajek]

What’s great about the old republikkkans retiring is they won’t be around to teach the young conservatives how to get elected

[LokiDaFerret]

It shows the arrogance of the republicans that he declares how he will vote in the impeachment trial. The actual trial hasn't even started yet?!?!

[Phi]

Let's see, do I shamelessly defend a criminal president, or do I slip out the backdoor while no one's looking?

[TheGamingPolitician]

Let’s get a Democrat in his seat boys!

[xochitlp]

Another coward that can't stand up to 45, instead flees.

[SwitchingRooskies]

Another bum leaves office. Good riddance.

[timothyyoon]

Good Move On his part
He doesn't want to see ths slaughter every republican is about to face.
They can't stand for anything how are they going to stand for you?

[bionicman]

Russian your tax cut and run, let the Democrats clean up the mess !

[kingtchenka]
