Why does anyone believe the completely bogus, MSM manufactured claim, that House Speaker John Boehner was “ousted” from his job?
The guy resigned - either because he got tired of the job, or because he wanted to make more money as a lobbyist, or because he believed there was a good chance the GOP would lose the 2016 presidential election and he, Boehner, would get some of the blame.
How can anyone believe that the Speaker of the House was evicted from his job by a 30 member coalition of Conservatives and Libertarians, led by some Congressman from North Carolina whom 99% of American voters have never heard of before?
Believe what you want to believe but, just to be clear, 30 (actually 38) members of the House Freedom Caucus didn’t “oust” Boehner, per se. Meadows, with the full support of Jim Jordan, Chairman of the caucus, introduced a motion to vacate the chair. A head count revealed that Boehner could not win a vote to retain the chair, so Boehner “resigned”. There’s a bit more to it, particularly coordinating with members of the conservative, 172-member Republican Study Committee prior to the motion to vacate to ensure that Boehner didn’t have the votes. Bottom line: Boehner did not give up the speakership of his own volition.
