Good riddance. The only good thing about this turkey is his niece, Kate.
Buh-bye, you old piece of Assistant Democrat shizz.
“The only shame is that people like Upton create so much damage and don’t seem to suffer the consequences.”

anyone hazard a guess as to how much Upton, his
staff and their families (and Pelosi) made on

corona-”virus”PLAGUE and DEATH-”VAX” would work, too.
And he’ll be taking any leftover campaign funds with him.
We need to pass a law to see that pols can’t do that. That the unused funds need to be returned to the donors or given to the treasury.
That is actually a very good age for politicians to retire. Seriously.
So long Fred Upton. Don’t let the door hit you as you depart the building.
Fred the Fraud Republican - every time you buy a Whirlpool appliance, you put money in Upton’s pocket.
He’ll be laughing all the way to the bank.
Good riddance. Hope an American First candidate wins the seat.
LOL, love it.
Hallelujah!!!

William Randolph Hearst was a democrat congressman in addition to running his publishing empire. Shows you what we’re up against.
