Man, that haircut alone should disqualify him from office.

Here's Fox News on the West Tennessee Rep's retreat:

Democratic Rep. Steve Cohen of Tennessee announced on Friday that he signed a document requesting not to be included on the ballot in Tennessee's 9th Congressional District.

The congressman described the district determined by "new lines" as "nothing like the 9th district that I've represented."

The Democratic primary in the district is scheduled to take place in August.

So, so sad 🤣

Tennessee redrew the maps. The Democrat incumbent stood no chance.

I guess you could say he chickened out.

On his way out, Cohen couldn't help but take a dig at the Donald.

Speaking after his announcement, Cohen described President Donald Trump as 'the greatest threat to democracy, and to … decorum … and grace, that we've ever seen.'

Good one, Steve!

I'm sure Trump is going to lose a lot of sleep tonight knowing that the most irrelevant man in DC thinks he's a meanie!
