Ken Buck Doesn't Know What He's Doing, Says Ken Buck

Earlier this month, local media outlets took note of a rather odd vote in the House of Representatives:

Colorado delegation on resolution supporting NATO:
Boebert (R) N
Buck (R) N
Crow (D) Y
DeGette (D) Y
Lamborn (R) Y
Neguse (D) Y
Perlmutter (D) Y#copolitics https://t.co/yyMAn3BDXJ

To the best of our recollection, neither Rep. Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert (R-ifle) nor Rep. Ken Buck (R-Greeley) ever explained WHY they would vote against such an uncontroversial bill.

On KOA morning radio last week, however, Buck finally got caught.

KOA hosts April Zesbaugh and Marty Lenz were talking with Buck about the previous weekend’s wild GOP state assembly results when Zesbaugh tossed in a curve ball:

ZESBAUGH: On the national stage, the House recently voted on a NATO resolution calling on the U.S. government to, quote, uphold the founding principles of NATO. Sixty-three Republicans voted no on this, including your colleague Lauren Boebert. Why the no vote?

BUCK: Um…you know, I…have to think about that one…there were other things in that, um, NATO, and I don’t know if they were criticizing the U.S. military…I’m not sure what the reason was on that. But I can get back to you on that.

Why did I vote no on that bill? Beats the hell out of me!

Really, really great work, Congressman Buck. You make us proud here in Colorado.
