Hewitt slams House Freedom Caucus
The Hill ^ | 10/11/15 | Kevin Cirilli

Posted on 10/12/2015 12:53:30 PM PDT by jimbo123

Conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt on Sunday slammed Rep. Dave Brat (R-Va.) and the House Freedom Caucus for "holding the House hostage" and blocking Republicans from electing a successor to outgoing Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), who wants to resign at the end of the month.

Hewitt said on NBC's "Meet The Press" that he hopes Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) — who has said he doesn't want to be Speaker — will change his mind. Hewitt then criticized Brat, who was on the roundtable, and the conservative House Freedom Caucus for giving Ryan a tepid response.

"There's like 15 of you people," Hewitt said of the caucus, which has about 40 members. "The Freedom Caucus is like 15 people. Paul Ryan is liked by 225 Republicans. Get with the program."

"How do you know we're not with the program?" said Brat, who defeated former House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) in a stunning primary upset.

Gingrich said McCarthy was fine. Jordan (current head of Freedom Caucus) said Ryan was fine.

Tom McClintock said McCarthy was fine. McClintock’s conservative credentials are unmatched.

The right wing of the right wing, sometimes runs off the track. If your blinders are pulled on too tight, you may not see this.

These people should consider consolidating the Freedom Caucus, the Liberty Caucus, the Tea Party Caucus and see if they can increase the numeric clout available to them.

Too bad for the rinos that ALL of THEM have proudly exposed themselves since Obama became resident. They ran faster to the far left than I could have imagined.

You should just go ahead and set evening star. You could not be more wrong about Hewitt. He is a power shmoozer of the first order. He touts rinos continuously
on his program. He wants to be in the good ole boys network talking sports trash etc. He is a lightweight.

“There’s like 15 of you people,” Hewitt said of the caucus, which has about 40 members. “The Freedom Caucus is like 15 people. Paul Ryan is liked by 225 Republicans. Get with the program.”

If Lyin’ Ryan has 225 Republicrats that like him, then he doesn’t need Brat and other conservatives, Hewitt you dimwit.

Hewett uses the same techniques as liberals: Lies, half truths and exaggerations.

The House Freedom Caucus isn’t “blocking Republicans from electing a successor to outgoing Speaker John Boehner”.

They just won’t cooperate in electing another John Boehner clone from the Uniparty.

Time for Trump to take the little snot to the wood shed and straighten him out again. So tiring!

If Ryan has 225 votes, then it’s a done deal.

So. What’s the problem?

Exactly.

Huge is mathematically challenged. Unfortunately, that's the least of his problems.

Hugh Hewitt is Erik Erickson. Both are writhing in the dust bin of irrelevance.

Hewitt called Kevin McCarthy a “Reagan conservative.” Was he referring to Ron Reagan?

That is one creepy picture of Hewitt. He is smiling like a 15 year old that just got his braces off.
