Nope, still not that one. This time it’s Peter King(now apparently Pete based on the reporting of the day???). The 75-year old representative of what must be New York’s most racist district will not seek re-election in 2020, making him the 20th House Republican to leap from the sinking ship of Biff-sanity in advance of the next election.
King, of course, is known for numerous racist rants in his day, disparaging American Muslims in particular. Ilhan Omar, an American Muslim, was plenty happy to see King punch his ticket out.
Unfortunately, this is still a hollow victory as long as Biff is in office, but one less racist is not nothing, depending on who succeeds him. Let’s not say that nobody could be worse, because as we’ve seen, that’s not always the case.

Well it looks like Chuck Schumer is still his buddy, so he’ll be alright.
Farewell to a bad man.
