Shortly after Trump's post, the Conservative Action Project, a group of activists and organizations with strong ties to Trump, rolled out a counterweight by calling on Republicans to reject McCarthy and lauding the rebel lawmakers.
"These members represents the millions of voters across the country who are disgusted with the business-as-usual, self-interested governance in Washington," wrote the group, which includes Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, and former Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina. "We stand behind them and beside them in their courageous efforts to find a Speaker of the House who will represent the interests of conservatives. We encourage more conservative members to join their ranks."

I dont care what "conservative" sold-out media say or their pundits like Mark Levin.
McCarthy has to stand aside!
Look out.
Soon they’ll be calling them insurrectionists and calling for Chrissy Wray to drag them off to the dungeons.
Any candidate for Speaker Of The House that does not pledge to take a chain saw to government spending should be dismissed out of hand.
He can start with elimination of the FBI.
Other places to look for savings are the EPA and the Department of the Interior.
Any fool can see that the Federal Government is a bloated monster intent of swallowing up more and more of the peoples liberty.
Slashing away at government spending is the only possible way of saving the Union.
“Any candidate for Speaker Of The House that does not pledge to take a chain saw to government spending should be dismissed out of hand.”
Just as long as you know only about 20% of the electorate agrees with you.
And after two years the American people will run you out of town on a rail.
By and large the American people give only lip service to balanced budgets, spending, borrowing and deficits.
But if you actually start cutting where the bulk of money is spent, a firestorm awaits.

True. The democrats, media, & voters will be “champing at the bit” to vote the bums out.
The $1.7 trillion discretionary spending bill, which had a ton of military spending already passed, so the rebels can act like “tough guys.”
Over $4 trillion of the Federal Budget is mandatory spending that would need Congress to pass a bill to change the automatic spending. This part of the budget has things like Social Security and Medicare in it.
I am pretty sure that the bulk of the budget these days is servicing the debt.
Here are 19 of the House Rs who voted against McCarthy:
Andy Biggs

Lauren Boebert
Josh Brecheen
