On Fox News this morning, U.S. Rep for Texas Louie Gohmert announced that it was time for a change and that he’d be challenging John Boehner for the title of Speaker of the House. He cites the failed fight against amnesty and Obamacare, and a broken promise that Boehner would only seek one term as the reasons why he’s throwing his hat in the ring.
Watch below:
He proudly announced on the Twitters:
