Rohrabacher eyes new career as a screenwriter after losing reelection

Rep. Dana Rohrabacher says the next act he's eyeing after Congress is becoming a Hollywood screenwriter.

"I basically want to produce product that will make money and uplift the American people," the California Republican says in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published Friday.

Democrat Harley Rouda unseated the 71-year-old lawmaker in last month's midterm elections.

Now, Rohrabacher — who worked in the Reagan administration before winning his first House race in 1989 — says his focus is turning to something he's been doing for years: penning scripts.

Really? Is there a market for Nazi propaganda films?

Really? A reverse Bannon? Who would have thought...to go from a lying demagogue to a failed screenwriter instead of the other way round.
