Montana Democrat Senator Jon Tester is not answering questions about President Joe Biden’s controversial pardon of son, Hunter Biden. Tester’s term in office ends in less than two months and he’s counting the days.
Here’s Tester’s testy response.
Sen. Jon Tester, living his best life, does not care to answer questions about Joe Biden pardoning his son: “I’m about to get the f@@@ out of here. Ask somebody else,” he tells reporters with a wide smile.

Tester may be all smiles, but some voters are smiling because he’s being replaced by a Republican.
The guy has always been a schmuck. This confirms what we all knew about him.

Smiling and dodging tough questions like a typical politician.

Trying to figure out why reporters added the part about his smiling when he told them to get the f*** out of his face.

When someone is smiling as they tell you to go f*** yourself there's some hardcore bitterness within.
Good riddance to @jontester.
Glad to see the GOP make Tester irrelevant and sent him to retirement. Will be a better place without him

Not everyone is happy to see him go, but say he didn’t want to stick around anyhow.
The reason is explained here.
At least he's not being nasty and resentful like Sherrod Brown or Bob Casey. I can admire his positive attitude.

The difference is that Brown and Casey probably wanted to stay as Senators where as Tester was kinda forced to run for reelection by Schumer, only because the DNC thought only Tester was capable to win in a state wide election in Montana.

Guess he won’t be running again in 26

Politics aside, my last day at a job was traditionally spent this way.

Yep, Tester’s just running out the clock. Republican Tim Sheehy recently defeated Tester by seven points. That seat had been held by Tester since 2007.
