Former House Majority Whip Candidate Marlin Stutzman Joins Rebellion Against Boehner

Rep. Marlin Stutzman (R-IN) will officially join the rebellion against John Boehner’s re-election as Speaker of the House on Monday morning, Rep. Jim Bridenstine (R-OK) announced in a statement late Sunday evening.

Stutzman, Bridenstine said, will issue a statement early Monday announcing his public opposition to Boehner’s re-election. That brings the total number of members who are public in their opposition to nine, as Bridenstine and Reps. Steve King (R-IA), Dave Brat (R-VA), Paul Gosar (R-AZ), Walter Jones (R-NC), and Thomas Massie (R-KY) issued public statements saying they are opposing Boehner. Reps. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) and Ted Yoho (R-FL) both announced their own candidacies against Boehner, and many incoming freshman representatives made campaign promises to either definitely vote against Boehner or that they’d consider doing so.

“I am pleased to see so many Members of Congress responding to the voices of their constituents in supporting new leadership,” Bridenstine said in his Sunday night statement. “Rep. Louie Gohmert added his name to Rep. Ted Yoho as willing to stand for election as Speaker of the House. Reps. Paul Gosar, Steve King and Dave Brat made public statements of their commitments to vote for new leadership. Rep. Marlin Stutzman also gave me permission to announce that his statement would be forthcoming Monday morning. Rep. Walter Jones, Thomas Massie and I had issued our statements previously.”

The really frightening part is that only 9 people out of 200 plus republicans seem unhappy with Boehner. I am praying that 21 more are just quietly waiting for the vote on Tuesday.

I think Hannity is going to have Louie Gohmert on his radio and TV show today to try to add to the momentum.

I’ll be curious to see how Rush deals with this today.
