An old saying advises, “With friends like these, who needs enemies?” It’s an expression somewhat applicable to the political machinations of the retiring Republican congressman from Colorado, Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO). 

Buck was among the few Republicans who voted against impeaching Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Buck previously provided relatively uninspiring reasons for not supporting Mayorkas’s impeachment, reasons that arguably contradict his support to expel disgraced former New York GOP Rep. George Santos.
