Representative Ken Buck, a Republican from Colorado’s 4th Congressional District, recently appeared on CNN to explain his surprising decision to vote for Tom Emmer as Speaker of the House. Buck openly admitted to CNN’s Dana Bash that his vote was driven not by policy or ideology but rather personal animosity toward Emmer.
The CNN interview unfolded as follows:
Dana Bash: He did not vote for Congressman Jim Jordan, instead voting for Tom Emmer. Well, I guess my first question is, do you really want Tom Emmer to be Speaker?
Ken Buck: No, I don’t. I don’t like Tom Emmer. I figured this would be the worst job in America. Mike Rowe would not want to do this for his TV show.
Dana Bash: Okay, so just to underscore that you voted for somebody because you don’t like them.
Ken Buck: I voted for somebody because I wasn’t going to vote for Jim.

close to the worst tea party candidate. wish i’d never given him a dime.
Wonderful. Buck is a prick AND an idiot.
The Republican Party is becoming (has become?) a national joke because of this fiasco that is going on right now. If this goes on, we’re not going to win in 2024.
Vote for the RINO Emmer. Then pretend to be conservative by saying he hates Emmer.
LOL!
Ken Buck is a Retard. I’m just surprised he didn’t vote for Hakeem. Maybe the air is a bit thin in Colorado and Ken Buck has BRAIN DAMAGE!!!
No one says you have to marry Jim Jordan. Republicans stand on 'principles'. Democrats shove their agendas down America's throat.
sure makes me miss the halcyon days of Bachmann, King, and Brat.
The traitors show their hand and intent every time.
These people are sick children. God help us.
Please. Fewer than 20% of the country even knows this vote is going on, and most of them won't remember it by Thanksgiving. "If" we lose 2024 it will be for the usual reason, fraud.
I've voted for him since he first ran for Congress. No more...
Glad to see someone has a sense of humor.
People in this thread don’t know sarcasm when they read it.
Approaching Fetterman level of stupidity.
close to the worst tea party candidate. wish i’d never given him a dime.
><><
Same here. He’s no good.
Do the other nineteen have similarly-frivolous reasons for not wrapping this up?
People wonder why things are they way they are.
He needs a foot broke off in his @$$
One clanger after another from this fool.
