If tweet fails to load, click here. Looks like both he and Johnson will be retiring from Congress in the very near future. Don't blame him he has had cancer and escaped an assassin's bullet and now has been completely removed from all leadership roles in the House. Both of them are now effectively starting from scratch as a backbench congressmen with no hope of ever getting back into leadership so long as Jim Jordan is in power.
Plus, Jim Jordan and former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (who has been helping Jordan strategize against Scalise) both hate Steve Scalise's guts. Scalise removed Jordan from a GOP Committee Chairmanship back in 2012 and McCarthy blames his ouster on Scalise.
If history is any indication of the future both of these congressmen will announce their resignations immediately after the swearing in ceremony in January. Both also know that Louisiana and their districts will no longer be rewarded with projects from DC while they are still in office.
Eric Canter, John Boehner, Newt Gingrich, Dennis Hastert, and Paul Ryan all resigned from congress in the same manner.

Taking his ball and going home to DC.

Why would you quit right after you just won an election?

In another note I can't get Senator Kennedy to even respond back to an email I sent 4 times thru his website...what's wrong with these people.

You are effectively a freshman congressman with no ability to help your district or state any longer not because of Democrats but because of your own party.

When I used to watch Fox, Scalise would never answer questions regarding his take on policy. Don't know if he would be up to the job.

What was the email about?

Everything else notwithstanding, it’s objectively less favorable as a State to have a congressional delegation that’s nowhere near leadership at the party or committee level in either chamber.

The unpaid intern that’s responsible for reading those emails had midterm exams last week.

That guy is worse than Sarah Palin about trying to sound folksy for the cameras. It's frickin absurd.

Remember when congressional representatives ran so they could serve and represent the constituents of their state and district?
Nowadays it seems like once they “peak” and there’s no higher level to reach among their DC buddies they suddenly decide they need to move on.
All a bunch of bullshite artists. Enjoy that free lifetime pension and insurance.

Cause trying to grift as a back bencher is way harder than as a part of leadership. At the end of the day none of these people,give a shite about anyone but themselves.

They better decide soon if they are going to get those races on the April/May election cycle or we don’t have a voice in the house until next November unless Jeff calls a special off election. The House unlike the Senate cannot be filled with an appointment by the governor until a special election is held.

Yep, they did what they were told and did not get the reward they were counting on from doing what they were told.
If they had only listened to the people.

Would be a great time for him to jump out and cause a special election, right when Dems have the momentum. I would think his seat would be safe and deep red, but I’m not sure what to believe anymore.
