Michigan Republican Rep. Fred Upton, who has been in office forever it seems, is retiring from office.
Upton is among the 10 Republicans who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump during his Ukrainegate impeachment.
Under the new redistricting maps in Michigan following the 2020 Census, Upton would have been forced to run against GOP Rep. Bill Huizenga had he run for re-election. He would have met an embarrassing defeat.
“Reagan worked both sides of the aisle to get things done, caring less about who got the credit,” he said. “And I made a promise that such a principle would be my guiding light. Especially in these days of divided government that is the only way one can actually get legislation enacted,” Upton said while making his announcement on the House floor.
“Hopefully civility and bipartisanship versus discord can rule, not rue, the day,” Upton added.
That’s a good excuse RINOs like to use as they sell us all out.
Trump released a statement soon after the announcement having a little fun.

I read he leaves congress very rich. His compromises are mostly supporting leftist spending like every good RINO does.
Proving my conviction that Trump (who I voted for twice) is an imbecile, he has endorsed John Boozman (S-Ark) who has been caught on a hot mike trashing Trump for his rock solid claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him by rampant levels of fraud and ballot harvesting in the swing states.
What sort of pathetically low IQ does it take for someone to not connect the dots on why the Deep State and the FBI played a key role in the events of January 6, 2021 – on the SAME day that the Republicans were planning to lay out the evidence of fraud in the November 2020 election – which the Deep State was desperate to prevent from being seen by the entire American electorate? That was the reason the Deep State incited the peaceful protestors and staged the chaos – so they could use it to cancel the presentation of the evidence of fraud.
John Boozman is a RINO and a backstabbing weasel. Did Trump not recently retract his endorsement of Mo Brooks, for similar comments he made about how didn’t believe the 2020 election was stolen?
Good riddance’s to the traitor Rino!
