Wrong!
The Freedom Caucus ousted Boehner.
The Freedom Caucus did not endorse Ryan for Speaker.
The endorsement was a technicality. The FC gave Ryan a super-majority initially, and for his reelection, they gave him an even higher percentage/level of support
The Freedom Caucus said that Ryan had “super-majority” (66%) support but he did not have the 80% support required for formal endorsement.
From the National Review: “House Freedom Caucus (HFC) members filed into the Capitol early on Wednesday morning. They’d had a restless night, grappling with the quiet chaos unleashed by Paul Ryan’s announcement of a conditional bid for speaker. Ryan’s terms were steep, including weekends off, limited travel, and a scaled-back role in GOP campaigning and fundraising. But that morning, the House’s rightmost flank, the beating heart of the anti-establishment fervor gripping the Republican conference, had only one demand to confront: its formal endorsement. It wouldn’t ultimately come, and it didn’t ultimately matter. After a day that would end with concessions from both sides — the HFC publicly announcing that Ryan had supermajority support from its members, even though he failed to clear the 80 percent required for a formal endorsement, and Ryan backing off his seemingly ironclad demand for such an endorsement to signal that the supermajority would do — Ryan emerged all but guaranteed to be the next speaker of the House.”
