The House Freedom Caucus voted to remove Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) from the group Tuesday night, three members of the conservative group told The Hill, a dismissal that comes days before he is set to retire from Congress.
One of the Freedom Caucus members, who requested anonymity to discuss the internal proceedings, said the group decided to oust Buck because he has not been a member in good standing and has not regularly attended meetings of the body in months.
The source also said Buck who has frequently broken from his party on various issues was removed because he hasnt been with conservatives on several major issues and is leaving the conference hanging with a historically narrow margin.
Buck was informed of the groups decision Tuesday night, the source added.

Any time a group of people has the word "free" in part of their name, it seems to always be a bunch of scared GOPpie white people trying to limit other people's FREEdom.
