U.S. Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO), who’s said he wants a job with a cable news station, may not have been at the center of Trump’s campaign to overturn the 2020 presidential election and undermine our democracy but he waded deeply enough in that direction that he shouldn’t be hired as a commentator on a legitimate TV news network.
