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.

    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.

      The eviction is literally that.

      I mean, I recognize that you were being sarcastic, but I want to point out that that’s literally this story.

        The eviction is literally what? Them attempting to influence his decisions? Yes, to drop the sarcasm, I’m not at all surprised. It seems questionable that his landlord was a multi-billion dollar industry group.

          Exactly. Or at least to send a warning to others.

          Yes, to drop the sarcasm, I’m not at all surprised. It seems question that his landlord was a multi-billion dollar industry group.

          As is tradition.
