Third Republican Who Voted to Impeach Trump Announces Retirement From Congress

A third Republican who voted to impeach President Donald Trump in January 2021 has announced his retirement from the House of Representatives, further thinning the ranks of Republicans who voted to remove the former President from office. Rep. John Katko of New York announced he would retire on Friday in an email to the press.

Katko follows RINO Republicans Adam Kinzinger and Anthony Gonzalez, both of whom bowed out of Congress in response to political pressure from their constituents and a likely loss at the hands of primary challenger who opposed their decision to impeach the President.

President Donald Trump hailed the news as a positive development, releasing a statement.

“Great news, another one bites the dust. Katko, from Upstate New York, is gone!”

A total of twelve Republicans have announced their intent to retire from Congress rather than face reelection, although more than twice as many Democrats have opted to retire in advance to what many expect will become a bloodbath election for the neoliberal extremist party in November.
