He confirmed in a statement on X that he will resign effective April 19.

Perfect timing to install Democrat Hakeem Jefferies as Speaker now that MTG has filed to vacate the speaker's chair.

Rush would be GOING OFF right now.

This is the CIA/derpstate in action.

These people are evil.

[Red Badger]

What’s the rush?...................

Nacy Pelosi will push Jefferies aside. She will have her old job back soon, thanks to the treachery of RINOs helping Dems.

[John S Mosby]

Why, in fact is this clown leaving— the actual stated reason— did he give one? The usual?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

“treachery” doesn’t begin to describe it. These bastards and their “early retirement” are going to have the complete and final destruction of the USA on them.

That cow can’t find her morning booze bottle. Spend spend spend again and again.

Break us. No— she will be broken.

Now when will McCarthy’s buddy McHenry leave Congress????

[RckyRaCoCo]

We need our own "cancel-culture"

A canceling of the sh tshow that is national (soon to include state) corrupted politics.

[LoveMyFreedom]

Agree RUSH would be losing it!! Boy do I miss that man!!!

[Political Junkie Too]

I said this would happen back in February 2023:

I'm not defending the guy, but let's not forget that the Democrats are seeing Republicans with a 4-seat majority and one member still out recovering from injuries sustained after falling off of his roof.

If they can take out Santos, that leaves them with a two-vote swing, and we have plenty of swing voters on our side who may be tempted to buck the party from time to time.

Besides, if they can take out Santos, they will likely ramp up their machine to target others until they can retake the majority.

It's just how the Democrats roll, and we will have to suck it up and tolerate our own bad seeds when things are this close and Democrats are ruthless at playing small ball.

Another RINO leaves the house, good. Hey Wisconsin, elect a real Republican this time.

[Faith65]

Wonder who is next to announce their early retirement now. RINOS!

[nonliberal]

Me too. Nobody moved the needle more than Rush. Not even Trump. I miss him terribly. It’s almost like this whole movement lost its “center” when Rush died.

[Regulator]

RNC should demand their money back for any election help they got.

[Chgogal]

Republicans are a bunch of disgusting arrogant spineless weak willed lily liveried eunuchs.

Idiots
