"On Breitbart News Sunday on Sirius XM Patriot channel 125, Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) who is leading the effort to oust House Speaker Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) from his leadership post, said the effort to remove Boehner is getting momentum because GOP constituents are sick and tired of a GOP establishment leadership that does not fulfill campaign promises.
Meadows told guest-host Matt Boyle, who recently profiled the conservative North Carolina Representative in a feature story that can be read here, that Boehner will need the votes of Democrats to remain Speaker if a vote is held today. Regarding his motion to vacate the chair, Meadows noted that 25 Republicans did not vote for Boehner for Speaker in January and he said, based on private conversations, that there are at least a dozen more Republicans who are now willing to vote against Boehner.
As Breitbart’s Boyle has thoroughly documented, if not a single Democrat votes for Boehner, then 29 Republicans would have to vote against Boehner for him to lose the election if every House Member is present for the vote. In addition to the 25 Republicans who did not vote for Boehner in January, three more Republicans have publicly declared that they will not vote for Boehner if another vote comes up, and Meadows said, “I can tell you based on the numbers right now, [Boehner] would need Democrats in order to remain as Speaker.”
He said that the potential vote is not “as much about Speaker Boehner as a personality” but a result of many Republicans in Congress being “pressured from people back at home,” including Breitbart News Sunday listeners, who are telling their Representatives that they “worked so hard to give you the majority in the Senate… and yet… there’s only been one bill that I know of that the president has vetoed.”
Meadows said GOP constituents throughout the nation are of the mentality that “we thought at least we were going to fight the good fight and not talk the good talk.”
