This must be the historical revisionism thread.
The Freedom Caucus ousted Boehner.
The Freedom Caucus did not endorse Ryan for Speaker.
The Freedom Caucus opposed the fake Obamacare Repeal.

Are these the die hard conservatives who have so much integrity that they have to hand President Trump a defeat, because the man they voted for two years ago, is really a complete incompetent. That reveals more about them than it does about Ryan.
The House Freedom Caucus’s stated purpose is to give “a voice to countless Americans who feel that Washington does not represent them.” Yet as one senior aide to a member of the House Freedom Caucus explained, “Many members of the Freedom Caucus never opposed Ryan’s positions on trade and immigration the way their constituents do. So they’re more than happy to ignore and cast aside the policies that got Trump elected in exchange for going along with the Ryan’s policies.”
“At a certain point, we’re going to have to change our group’s name from the ‘House Freedom Caucus’ to the ‘Paul Ryan Caucus,’” the aide told Breitbart.
‘The Freedom Caucus did not endorse Ryan for Speaker.’
True, but they gave Ryan a super-majority of votes for Speaker initially, and even more votes for his reelection. The FC could have stopped Ryan dead following the Boehner debacle, but vote-wise, they were gung-ho behind him.
