Rep. Bobby Rush (D-Ill.) said Monday he will not seek reelection after 15 terms in Congress.
Rush told the Chicago Sun-Times he made the decision in the past several weeks and that it was a result of a conversation he had with his grandson.
“I don’t want my grandchildren . . . to know me from a television news clip or something they read in a newspaper,” Rush told the Sun-Times.
“I want them to know me on an intimate level, know something about me and I want to know something about them. I don’t want to be a historical figure to my grandchildren.”
The Illinois Democrat said he plans to remain active in his ministry and use his life story and experiences to inspire young people.
Rush co-founded the Illinois chapter of the Black Panthers, becoming acting chairman following the killings of Fred Hampton and Mark Clark in a police raid in December 1969.

Bobby has been mentally unraveling for many years, saying odd and very racist remarks that served no good purpose.
And physically, he has looked very sickly for a long time.
This is a good chance to go home and re-read his books about Karl Marx. When that’s done, he can read all those pamplets about Farakhan.
Bobby Rush started out as a gangster and has a 30-year pension from the House to collect. He won’t go broke, and will still be a celebrity. If he spends more time with his grandchildren, will he teach them how to be gangsters as well?
They know the midterm is going to be a bloodbath.
Just as all those Repukes got out because they knew 2018 was going to be a massacre.
He’s been doing such a great job in The House for 30 years I have never heard of him.
One day impartial historians will document how much actual harm these vile, so called black leaders did to the country and their own communities. They are just horrible people who were not only corrupt but did nothing to stop the carnage and genocide of their own people by selling their souls and supporting and cheering abortion. Almost all these disgusting, repulsive people became wealthy while in “public service”.
Better to hang out with your grandchildren face to face so they can experience what a POS you are in person.
Now you know how far cray-cray the left has gone when even Bobby Rush isn’t radical enough.
Burn baby, burn.
It’s called take the money and run.
His grandkids can learn how to get rich hating Whitey.
It has been a great scam for a long time.
Perhaps Debbie Dingell can buy his house, and run for his seat. Yeah, it’s a different state, but why is that a problem?
Another Red gone from Congress. That’s the way to start the new year!!
Cannot believe he went out without a federal investigation of some misdeed from his district on racketeering or corruption charges.
“I don’t want to be a historical figure to my grandchildren.”
The Illinois Democrat said he plans to remain active in his ministry and use his life story and experiences to inspire young people.
You can pretty much bank on his replacement being a BLM leader
He is a RAT. He’s fleeing a sinking ship. That is all you need to know about him.
Bye to a POS, hello to the new POS.
“physically, he has looked very sickly”
Aids?
