Back when he ran for Senate in 2010, Ken Buck was considered a right-wing extremist. He called being gay a choice and likened it to alcoholism ...
In the subsequent years, he won a seat in Congress in 2014 and briefly served as chairman of the Colorado Republican Party. He has remained a staunch conservative, at one point posting a picture of himself with an AR-15 saying “come and take it” ...
On Wednesday, he finally decided that he had enough with Congress and announced he would not seek re-election ...
Ultimately, Mr Buck found himself in the peculiar position of being in a party where he was gradually more out of place. But he was unwilling to sacrifice anything to steer the ship back onto its main course. He wanted conservatives to balance both the “reasonable” and the “nutjob” parts of the gig but did nothing to tip the scales back to “reasonable.”
