Fascist House Speaker John Boehner is making sure that conservatives pay the price for not voting the way he wants them to:
THE HILL – Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.), the House freshman class president, might be the next conservative targeted for opposing House GOP leadership initiatives.
Buck, who was elected by his fellow freshmen late last year, will likely be stripped of his title as class president.
A notice obtained by The Hill that went out to chiefs of staff late Tuesday night said Reps. Mimi Walters (R-Calif.) and Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), who are both close to leadership, have scheduled an “important freshman class meeting” Thursday at 8:30 a.m.
The notice did not state a specific purpose for the meeting, but Walters confirmed it will be about discussing new leadership for the class of lawmakers elected in 2014.“A majority of the freshman class has expressed concerns I share regarding the leadership of our class President. In addition to regular business, tomorrow, we will also be discussing the direction of future leadership,” Walters said in a statement.
A spokeswoman for Buck believes the ousting “is a form of retribution for his vote against ObamaTrade.”
Buck voted against the procedural motion to bring up the package of trade legislation on the floor two weeks ago, joining 33 other Republicans in doing so.
Three other Republicans who voted against the trade rule — Reps. Trent Franks (Ariz.), Cynthia Lummis (Wyo.) and Steve Pearce (N.M.) — were removed from the House GOP whip team.
In other news, Boeher says he completely supports the ousting of Mark Meadows for voting against the party:
POLITICO – Speaker John Boehner told a closed meeting of House Republicans that he “supports” the decision to strip North Carolina Rep. Mark Meadows of a subcommittee chairmanship for voting against the party.
Boehner (R-Ohio) endorsed House Oversight Chairman Jason Chaffetz’s (R-Utah) removal of Meadows as chairman of a government operations panel. Meadows voted against a procedural motion on the House floor.
Boehner wasn’t asked about the decision, but rather volunteered his opinion, showing he’s comfortable with retribution for GOP dissenters.
What a schmuck. Boehner doesn’t just endorse the ousting of Meadows, he ordered it and Chaffetz fell in line.
