Former Colorado Rep. Ken Buck showed no remorse for leaving the House, even as his Republican Party faces an even slighter majority in the chamber.

Buck appeared on This Week on Sunday in his first television interview since his retirement on Friday. The former representative expressed his disagreement with some of the “priorities” his fellow GOP members were pursuing at the time he left, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) filing a motion to vacate Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) on his last day.

“Well, you know, since this Congress started, there have been efforts to impeach the secretary of state, the secretary of defense, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, the president, the attorney general, the FBI director, and, in fact, did impeach the director of — the secretary of homeland security. Serious problems with setting priorities,” Buck said. “We have a very tragic circumstance in Ukraine. We have spiraling debt, all kinds of out-of-control problems, and we focus on messaging bills that get us nowhere.”

The former representative downplayed the effect his retirement will have on the Republican’s majority in the House. In his opinion, “There’s very few votes that are decided by one or two members.” He stood his ground and said he was “happy to move on. Dysfunctional place.”

“So other than the Mayorkas impeachment, I can’t think of a vote that went one way or the other because of one member,” Buck explained. “They have to be bipartisan at this point.”

Buck’s former fellow Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) is currently up for reelection. A special election to replace Buck will occur in June.

Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI) has since followed suit and announced his own retirement from Congress mid-term.
