https://www.texastribune.org/2019/09/30/us-rep-mac-thornberry-will-not-run-reelection/WASHINGTON - U.S. Rep. Mac Thornberry, R-Clarendon, announced Monday that he will not seek reelection in 2020, making him the sixth GOP congressman from Texas to say he's retiring in recent weeks.
"It has been a great honor for me to represent the people of the 13th District of Texas for the last 25 years," he said in a statement.
We are reminded, however, that 'for everything there is a season,' and I believe that the time has come for a change. Therefore, I will not be a candidate for reelection in the 2020 election."

...what a load of shit. The lying, cowardly hypocrites know that the jig is up. Every member of the Congressional GOP* Caucus should be held responsible FOR AIDING AND ABETTING A TRAITOR.
