House Freedom Caucus Member Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) urged President Trump to continue working with the caucus, because they have been a staunch ally of his throughout his tenure.
Gohmert said on "Sunday Morning Futures" that Trump and the Freedom Caucus came to agreements twice during the ObamaCare replacement negotiations, but that "establishment" figures convinced the president to rebuff them.
snipRepublican 'establishment' leaders like Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and Chief of Staff Reince Priebus "had a meeting" and decided to "go to war against the people that defended the president, when Ryan and those guys abandoned him," Gohmert said.

What'd I miss ?
Gohmert and Buck are OK, most of the rest are nevertrump backbenchers who can’t be trusted
Don’t you think that is an extremely extreme position??
I am with you on that sentiment regarding Trump Kids and son- in law. Didn’t vote for his kids to be running the WH.
I have some advice for Gohmert.
Get rid of Ryan as Speaker
Trump did not write the bill. Trump did not schedule a vote.
The one most responsible for the bill is Ryan.
Yet, every single member of the HFC are silent as mouses regarding Ryan.
“...Loyaty is a two way street.”
*************************************
It is indeed. But don’t try to tell that to the CULTISTS of Personality — to them it’s a one way street and beliefs must turn on a dime when commanded by The Personality. Today it is commanded that the enemy is the Freedom Caucus. If commanded, tomorrow the FC may be friends and, thus, to be praised. Next week? We’ll have to wait to see whether we are to hate Eurasia or, instead, to hate Eastasia.
Yes, of course. The 33 members of the Freedom Caucus (out of 247 Republicans in the House) can kick Ryan out at will. Sure, we believe you — they’re that powerful.
Don’t ruin a good rant with rational thought!
Did you wire tap the White House to come to the conclusion?
Bannon and Kellyanne have been the primary advisors to the President thus far.
How? Trump has declared war on global warming and environmental regulations. He nominated an apparently Scalia-like justice to SCOTUS. He's pushing for tax cuts. Our military is actually trying to destroy ISIS.
Yet, Trump continues his war on environmental regulations.
But, Ivanka met with Algore. We're all doomed.
They sure as hell could have prevented him from becoming speaker if they had all refused to vote for him for speaker.
What good does does pissing and moaning about something if you're not getting anything done?
“We Stood By You When Ryan ‘Ran Scared’”
Some did not.
How “brave”.
You don’t know what you’re talking about.
Priebus is Ryan’s mole in the White House. Time for Priebus to walk the plank and time for Trump to give an ultimatum to Ryan about repealing ObummerCare and funding the wall.
Loyalty is a two way street...
And you’re expecting Trump to be loyal to a bunch of never Trumpers who also lied to his face during negotiations.
The hell?
As far as I can tell, Ryan was the only candidate. One Freedom Caucus member wrote in Daniel Webster, every other Republican voted for Ryan. What would they have accomplished, exactly?
Logical fallacy: demonization, no true Scotsman.
And lots and lots of whining.
Take it up with Jim if you want everyone who doesn’t goose step along with you to be banned. In the meantime, qq moar.
The FC is < 10% of the Republicans in the House. How are they going to repeal and replace a Speaker?
