Really, Ken Buck?
The newly elected Colorado congressman hadn’t even formally taken office when he launched a snarky comment about President Obama via social media.
Buck, having lunch with his wife, sent a tweet from a Washington, D.C., pizza restaurant Thursday after seeing President Obama arrive. Complete with a photo of the president, it said:
“Perry and I were having lunch at We the Pizza near the Capitol. Lost my appetite.”
We wouldn’t expect the representative from the 4th Congressional District to agree with the president on many issues. But we would expect him to respect the individual and the office.
Let’s keep in mind Buck was elected president of his House freshman class. Shouldn’t someone in a leadership role know better? We think so.
One of the things that Americans despise about politics these days is how vitriol has undermined the ability to get things done.
Buck’s disrespectful comment only plays into that narrative.
