Congressman Ken Buck says he is being evicted after refusing to vote for Jim Jordan for Speaker of the House - Lemmy.World

Congressman Ken Buck, a Republican from Weld County, says his office in Windsor will soon be forced to move after receiving an eviction notice. Buck, a longtime resident of Weld County, received an eviction notice from his Water Valley office space. A spokesperson for Buck said the eviction notice was given as a result of Buck’s refusal to vote for Jim Jordan as Speaker of the House of Representatives. Buck also told reporters he received death threats due to his voting against Jordan for the position which would put Jordan second in line for the presidency.

I suppose that’s a hazard when you rent your office space from fascists: if you later go against fascism even a little bit, they might take revenge on you.

Who are they even renting from?

Looks like it was an arrangement with a group called Dairy Farmers of America, Inc. I’m sure they only served as landlords in a market rate agreement and surely didn’t seek any favors or influence.

Isn’t that the government group behind the Got Milk campaign?

It’s not a government group. It’s a corporate dairy consortium that has about 22% of the milk market in the US. They own a large number of regional brands.
