Rep. Ryan Costello (R-Pa.) said that he is leaving Congress in part because all he is ever asked about is President Trump, according to CNN.
"No matter what I say or do, I feel all I do is answer questions about Donald Trump rather than health insurance or tax policy," Costello told CNN.
Costello announced in March that he would not run for reelection, blaming the partisan political environment, including the actions of Trump.
"I feel, increasingly, that if you're a member of Congress, they assume that you're not good," Costello told CNN.
"They assume that you're not telling the truth. No matter what you do, someone's out there locked and loaded to say something disparaging, false, mean, in an attempt to have other people not like you,” he added.
The young moderate has broken with the GOP’s leadership and the president on a number of issues, including gun control and repealing the Affordable Care Act.
Costello noted that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision that redrew his district, in a move Republicans believe will make the district more Democratic, was also part of the reason he decided to leave Congress.
"I'm 41. I have an 8-month old. I have a 4-year old. I just lost half my congressional district. The state Supreme Court decided that they were going to try and take me out," Costello charged.
Etc...

If this idiot is talking to CNN, then we don’t need the little whiner.
"They assume that you're not telling the truth.
You're damn right I don't believe you're telling the truth. Ya gotta prove yourself today. Did Pollyanna think after nearly 30 years of deep seated widespread criminal corruption in D.C., the American people were in a warm and fuzzy mood?
Think again Pollyanna.
He’s not running for reelection because he knows he cannot win. He’s taking a parting shot at President Trump on his way out the door, because he is a RINO.
Sounds like an excuse as good as any.
Now, tell WTP the real reason you’re leaving, not that you’ll be missed.
"The young moderate …"
redlined
Quit whining you chameleon. GFY
Rino liar.
The newly redistricted 6th Congressional District is unwinnable by a Republican. He knows that, but is saying it “because Trump.” Good riddance.
By the time November gets here, his new district, might become deplorable and even vote that way.
This is the text of a note I sent this RINO in response to his "Ryan Report':
"“I read your Ryan Report this morning, which I don't often do, having pretty much given up on the ability of government to do much good. I did have to smile, however, at the well-intentioned efforts to legislate goodness in a godless society, which sadly describes the state of America today.
America, once blessed of God, has abandoned God, and will not be blessed again unless she returns to God.
Government is the heavy hand that comes down to compel goodness when men fail to regulate their own behavior, and the most efficient and effective way to ensure goodness is to have it spring within the soul of men, not legislated piecemeal by well-meaning yet imperfect men and women in government.
I appreciate your efforts Congressman, but what America needs is not more government but more God.
We need the government to recognize our true roots as a Christian nation and reshape every segment of our society to conform to the vision of our Founding Fathers.
Repentance and revival, starting with Congress, would be an excellent start.”
Well... I suppose that’s one way of saying “I’m a compromised swamp drain sludge ball and I’m getting out while the getting is good”...
So don’t quit and turn tail! Fight back against the Progs and their media lapdogs! Stand up t them Say I am not her to talk about your Trump hate but about healthcare or taxes or immigration!
The young moderate has broken with the GOP’s leadership
That makes him even less desirable than even the the GOPe (wasn't even aware that was possible). Goodbye & good riddance you worthless POS.
How old is he 12? He looks ready for his bar mitzvah. “Hey Abbotttttttttttttttttt!!!!!’
I only have one question for him.
WHERES ABBOT?

Waaaaah! Trump cares more about the People than for us POS politicians/RINOs.....
One thing about the RATS, they stick to their party with their lies through thick and thin. While the pubbies are the least loyal and more apt to be traitors.
He tells CNN this stuff, enough said. Enjoy the private sector pal!
