‘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.

I think your argument is:
1.) The Freedom Caucus is bad because they supported Ryan for Speaker.
2.) The Freedom Caucus is bad because they did not support the Ryan version of Obamacare.
