I agree that it is sad that these people would not stand up for Americans when they could make a difference.

[Popeye]

He's not walking away. He's pulling the rip cord on his golden parachute .

[krisstromgren]

These people never stood up to the lies. Now they are running away rather than fixing the horrors they created!

[JMSsssssss]

All these cowards keeping their mouths shut for years. Like apologizing for the affair only after you get caught.

[dianajohnson]

Give this man a 🍪. He helped to create this mess, now he is 🏃‍♂️ away after milking his position for everything it could give him. The hypocrisy is 🤯

[vic]

He made his millions. We need to outlaw lobbying.

[mrfupil]

Another waste of a politician who made his money, and now it's time to go. Leave!

[jackwells]

Buck has been in Congress since 2015. He didn't seem to mind all the lies going on when he started.

[BIZZLLENIZZLLE]

They are so brave when they are quitting the jobs they were elected to do. His pockets are full, and he is cashing out.

[pernordin]

From what I hear here, he should stay and speak this openly on the floor.

[Dan_Matwij]

Dont worry, he'll still vote for all those people when it comes time. Hes nothing but a coward.

[busterjohnson]

They need to stop ignoring the problem within the party, confront it, and fight against it.

[maryhensley]

When a person works for the own self interest rather than their oath it's time!

[pikaskew]

They’re always so lucid and forthcoming on their way out…never when they’re voting against the American people

[TenleyAtwood]

Thank you for speaking up immediately about the big lie... Oh wait.

[TheClonemenot]

He isn't bowing out, he's cowering out. He won't stay and speak the truth, he will just leave and meekly whisper it as he leaves. Coward.

[jasonjohnson]

wow he found his voice to speak the truth where was it during the first IMPEACHMENT !??!?

[jeffscott]

Buck should've stepped forward and supported the Jan 6th investigation. Why wasn't he talking about the lies three years ago?

[benjamingross]

What a shocker, they all wait till they are on their way out the door to be honest about the situation.

[ccrider]

Translation: I looted the government and now, I'm outta here.
