Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., the longest-serving member of the Senate, said Monday he will not seek reelection in 2022 to the seat he has held for eight terms.
Leahy, 81, said he and his wife, Marcelle, have concluded that “it is time to pass the torch to the next Vermonter who will carry on this work for our great state. It’s time to come home."
Let me translate that for you fine folks. "I have raped the system long enough and have made enough money as a result so I am moving on. Being a political scumbag is not as easy as it looks and it has drained me after all of these years."
