An announcement👇

Sell out POS Go live in Israel since you love it more than America.

This scumbag move is what average Americans hate about Washington politicians.

Israel thanks you for selling Montanans out. You have denied Montanans an opportunity to pick a candidate who isn’t an AIPAC shill.

Good riddance.

You're corrupt as hell for doing it this way and you know it.

But why did you wait until the very last minute to pull your candidacy? It is very strange.

Obviously corrupt move to deny Montana a real choice in your successor.

Real scummy to fundraise 8 million and then drop out and get your buddy in this race because you knew it be a free win for him

Wtf pal... you COORDINATED this shit with the express purpose of denying constituents alternatives through the primary process. Where in hell is that ethical?

Another traitor of America

Not my party, not my problem. But MTGOP voters should be furious. Your last-minute withdrawal rigged the field and denied voters a transparent nomination A fitting final act for a coward who, on Jan. 6, voted to overturn an election before voting for it #mtpol #mtnews #mtsen

I wish you the best and I’ve been a supporter. But, the way you did this is so gross.

Why quit at the last minute so only a hand picked successor could file to replace you? Way to stifle the voices of your constituents. Washington democracy in action.

Good decision. You were on your way out anyways.

Lost all respect for this man. What a sackless POS.

Gross to do this on filing deadline day. No integrity, not even in retiring

So this was planned in advance 🤔

Tim Sheehy harmed a veteran.

Why would you wait until the last minute? This is such an idiotic move.

This is not how you drop out of the race. You are an idiot for doing it this way

What a terribly corrupt way to retire. You should e ashamed of yourself.

BS you spoil sport Didn’t give others a chance Jyst T it up for your palace insider

You gotta be kidding me. Within minutes of the filing deadline? Pure Scum

Forgive me for not caring about your future plans or your prior work in the private sector. "After much thought..." but not enough forethought.

All so you could deny republicans in Montana to chose their candidate, so you get hand pick your replacement

Another AIPAC'S puppet out of our politics and affairs, but not after he enriched himself.

YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE! I hope the citizens om Montana give you a good old horse thief sendoff!

Doing this at filing deadline time is manipulative and a disgrace. Shame on you.

Good riddance... I voted for you and I'm grateful I won't be seeing your name again on my ballot again.

I wonder who has the pics of him in a compromising position?

What a corrupt move to do this in the 11th hour. Shame on you, I hope the voters of MT see through these republican shenanigans.

Your decision to wait for this particular time was cowardly and absolutely should destroy any good aspects of your legacy. Your decision was disgusting! Go away

@vik_ath Thank you @SteveDaines for years of service and your relentless positive attitude.
