Nevertheless the fact is that the House had the votes. Both Boehner and McCarthy counted—two counts in all. The votes were there. This was a Monday. The question was, schedule the vote for Thursday or Friday? Before Boehner made that decision, Cantor’s loss to Brat rattled the House like a magnitude 8 earthquake.
Immediately afterward Reps began contacting Boehner to say their yes vote had become a nay. Mercifully, we were spared this country-ending piece of legislation.
The fact remains, this thread is based on lie!
