Louie Gohmert Challenges John Boehner For House Speaker
Gohmert told Tucker Carlson that people in Congress say they would vote for someone other than Boehner but they have no options. Now they do, he asserted. They have two options, Gohmert and Rep. Ted Yoho (R-FL) and maybe more will get in the race yet.
If a majority of those present and voting for a person vote for someone other than Boehner, the speaker’s race goes to a second round. Right now that number is around 29, since Rep. Grimm is resigning effective tomorrow. A high level GOP source says at that point, there is blood and the water and a second round vote could facilitate many other candidates jumping in the race.
The Texas congressman explained that Boehner and the GOP leadership deceived the American people when they went to Obama and Pelosi to get the votes for the Cromnibus, they told the people they would fight tooth and nail against amnesty…it follows a number of years of broken promises. Gohmert also referenced the recent poll that came out showing that 60% of Republican voters and Republican leaning voters want someone other than Boehner on the job.
With at least two other alternatives to Boehner on the table, Congressmen facing their angry, Boehner-weary constituents have no cover to say there were no other options but to support Boehner once again.
Late last night, Rep. Ted Yoho (R-FL) sent out a press release announcing he would also challenge Boehner, saying “The American people have allowed us to choose who is best suited to lead the House by electing a deep bench of diverse and qualified members. Our Republic is built on choice, and if needed, I would stand up to give our members that option.”

‘Gomer’ already has an official title — House Howler Monkey.
Instead of giving him more responsibilities, they need to place a sign in front of his chair in the House chamber which states: “Please don’t feed the ego”.

Just think of the possibilities…
The Speaker is second in the United States presidential line of succession, after the Vice President and ahead of the President pro tempore of the U.S. Senate.

This is another case in our government where I absolutely feel change is needed, Boehner has not done his job, but then the potential replacements all seem like a worse choice. Why is the pool we get to elect from full of idiots, and why are we always left with the bottom of the barrel? I know it may not seem like it, but there are actually a few decent Republicans in Congress right now, why can’t one of them step up and run? No, instead, the choices are Yoho and Gohmert… Whoever Congress chooses, it will be purely by default.
