Rep. Troy Nehls, R-Texas, announced Saturday that he would not seek re-election next year.
Nehls, a close ally of Donald Trump who co-sponsored legislation that proposed putting the president on the $100 bill and renaming Washington’s Dulles International Airport after Trump, said he came to his decision after consulting his family during the Thanksgiving holiday — and that he intends to “focus on my family and return home after this Congress.”
Nehls’ announcement adds to uncertainty for House Republicans. Their majority — 219 to 213 — will shrink after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., resigns effective early January, and after a number of other Republicans retire or seek other office.
Every republican that leaves the House should be kidnapped, forcefully held down, have a T carved or tattooed on their foreheads, and then let them be released.
They can never be allowed to have their traitorous support of Trump and modern Conservativism be allowed to be forgotten.
I guess this is one of the Republicans that thinks their own base will firebomb their house with their family in it.
Because they’ve been grooming terrorism among their base for so very long…
Don’t let this guy off the hook. Make a fuckin example of him.
Another rat trying to abandon ship. Don’t let none of these fucks get away. They need to be tainted for life for supporting Trump.
You think they won’t?
Fuck that, let them scurry off into the shadows. That’s one more special election for a progressive to snatch out of nowhere
I hear his twin brother running for the seat so not going go to a progressive.
Lol now that’s a bold move. Even better chance for a progressive to come out of the woodwork and snatch it that way
Oh my god, did his family do an intervention when he went home for Thanksgiving? Does that work?
Not really because his brother intends to run for the seat and also intends to suck off Trump.
He’ll fit in quite well then.
