A group of nearly 50 conservative heavyweights co-signed a statement Wednesday supporting lawmakers who voted against Kevin McCarthy in his bid for House speaker.
Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., said former President Donald Trump should tell Republican leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., he lacks the votes to become House speaker and should withdraw from the race.
"These members represents the millions of voters across the country who are disgusted with the business-as-usual, self-interested governance in Washington," the group stated. "Over the past decade, the House has grown increasingly autocratic. Rank and file members are routinely denied a chance to participate in the legislative process, committees are ignored, deals and loopholes for interests abound, and there is virtually no amendment process for any bills, large or small," the group continued.
