U.S. Rep. Ken Buck is being evicted from his main Colorado office, where his landlord is a company run by a major GOP donor. The Republican congressman says the eviction is happening because he refuses to support Ohio Republican Jim Jordan’s bid to become House speaker.

“I’ve been evicted from my office in Colorado — I have a notice of eviction — because the landlord is mad with my voting record on this speaker issue,” Buck, a Windsor Republican, told NBC News on Thursday.

Buck’s main Colorado office is in Windsor’s Water Valley subdivision adjacent to the Pelican Lakes Resort and Golf club. The building where the office is located is owned by Pelican Point Business Park LLC, whose registered agent is developer Martin Lind, according to property and business records.

Lind developed Water Valley and owns the Colorado Eagles minor league hockey team in Loveland. The state’s campaign finance database and Federal Election Commission records show he is a prolific GOP donor.

3. Buck loses sweet deal.

My guess is that Buck had all along been receiving a very favorable deal on this lease, as a disguised bribe/campaign contribution. While the sort of right wing power politics motivating the story may be unbecoming, let’s not forget that these Republicans suck at the teet of monied right wingers.

4. Vindictive MAGAt assholes.

Who would ever dream that Ken Buck would be too liberal for anyone under the sun.
