Florida Republican Rep. Francis Rooney said Saturday he would not run for reelection, after suggesting he could be open to impeaching President Donald Trump

Washington .

"I've done what I came to do," Rooney told Fox News. He said he ran for Congress to"get the money for the Everglades projects that had been languishing for many years, and to try to get this offshore drilling ban passed to protect Florida."Rooney, who won his first election in 2016, said he initially thought his goals would take three terms,"but I think I've done it in less than two.

The congressman said Mick Mulvaney, the acting White House chief of staff, confirmed Thursday what Trump had denied -- that the President engaged in a quid pro quo with Ukraine. Rooney also said he was eager to learn from the witnesses coming in next week.

This is what happens when you go against your own party. He knows that his party will not sponsor him any more

Yo voto por él presidente yque

My uncle GTFOH says go lay down as you are to weak for this fight

Bye 👋

He knows he would be on wrong side of history if he was for impeachment.

Good man. Country before party.

MSNBC FoxNews help us get on track. notrumpday Monday the 28th of October please make a pact to not run a single piece involving Donald Trump. There are many more opportunities. Maybe talk about getting our government back to work, it feels like the GOP is ready to dig in

Man with morals in the GOP are few!

Another spineless republican.

The life of the law has not been logic, it has been experience. 📚 You don’t listen, do you? 🤡

Florida has one good Republican. Hopefully more will come.

Good the dems must have comprising info on him.

Wish once exhibiting that courage you had chosen to stay.

Wow. He has a real backbone!

Cowards all! If the Republicans came out en masse to impeach and remove Trump, their problem would be no more! He is evil and exemplifies everything a president SHOULDN'T be! They would preserve their reputations and he would be gone! Well, except for the usual suspects!

The courage of the Lame Duck. It's a sorry sight. Have Republicans forgotten about Strength in Numbers?

Hope stomach infrastructure has not cut up with him.

So he can vote for impeachment!

It's so sad how many Republicans lose their honour and manlihood(ness) with age!

Well I hope he makes the most of the time he has left in congress.

Is there a GOP cloakroom where they immediately hang up their spines (RepRooney), upon taking the oath of office, knowing that they won't get them back till they resign, PATHETIC. GOPLeader senatemajldr HouseGOP SenateGOP Vote these wastes of space out of office in 2020.

Draining the swamp! 👍 PromisesMadePromisesKept

I'd hope that every member of Congress is open the impeaching a president... for actual crimes. I'd hope that none are open to impeaching a president before even finding out about the credibility of ludicrous claims of crimes, but that ship sailed 3 years ago.

It's not really so heroic to oppose Trump ONLY after what you have to lose by speaking truth to power has minimized. NeverForget WhereAreTheRealHeroes?

BYE FELICIA!!!!!

So, those seeking reelection would not dare tell the truth about trump; for fear of being ridiculed by the leader of the party. Question to those wannabe career politicians: What shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Allegiance 2 trump? News flash, he ain't worth it!

No! Run, Francis, run ! It’s okay to disagree with trump and the other crazies

Buh bye.... Another CharlieCrist ...

The GOP is just broken. They’re damned if they do and damned if they don’t. So, they just retire...

Bye

Trump is devastating what’s left of the Republican Party.

Thank goodness. With action, we may have found a republican we can respect- finally.

I’m generally a democrat but I have to say I’ve gotten to know Congressman Rooney through AIPAC and he’s a very descent guy. He’s doing the right thing.

Wow a Republican with a backbone,of course what’s he got to loose.
