Yet another Republican congressman announced he will be retiring, leading to speculation running rampant online.....

But a lot of commenters weren't buying the lawmaker's reasoning.

Shea Jordan Smith, a popular user formerly associated with Empower Project, responded with, "Troy, it’s cute that you’re wrapping this up like some noble farewell, but let’s be real here: this ain’t about 'family time.'"

"This is about clocking out the second your congressional pension fully vests and your lifetime taxpayer-funded healthcare kicks in," Smith added.

Author Timothy Peterson agreed, writing simply, "Pension fully vested and lifetime taxpayer funded healthcare secured => got what you came for, time to leave."

A purported constituent of Nehls, Dawn Morrow, replied with, "This is the only thing you have done as my representative that has made me happy."....

"May 2024: Rep. Troy Nehls investigated over allegations he used campaign money to pay rent to his own company," he wrote, linking to a story about the investigation. "Today he announced his retirement."
