A top House Democrat is stepping down from a key committee post and not running for reelection months after beating out socialist Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) for his current position.

Representative Gerry Connolly (D., Va.), 75, announced Monday he is stepping down as ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, a high-profile congressional panel, and ending his decades-long political career.

I really don’t get these people, we’re like a knife’s edge close to anyone who opposes Trump getting rounded up and killed, and these people seem to think they’re not on the list?

Some people are happy to be on the list as long as the people they hate get killed first.
