Rep. Mark Green said he was returning to the private sector to start his own business, without sharing details about the business.

Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn., announced his official resignation from Congress on Friday, a move that was expected but one that could, at least for now, shrink Republicans’ already narrow majority in the House.

With his resignation, Republicans are down to a 219-212 majority in the House, at least until his seat in the solidly red district is filled.

His resignation will be effective July 20, Fox News reports from a letter Green sent to House Republican leadership.

    Honestly, I thought this would happen a few months ago. These people are legitimately scared for their lives, and they should be.

    They did something fucking horrible for the people they are supposed to represent, and they know it.

    We just saw political targeting of local reps in Minnesota and Michigan. No reason that ain’t coming for your dumbass in one of the most armed places in the country.
