Texas U.S. Rep. Ted Poe quit the conservative House Freedom Caucus on Sunday after lawmakers failed to pass a bill to replace the Affordable Care Act two days before.
Poe had prepared to vote for the Republican American Health Care Act, which was ultimately pulled from the House floor when Republicans learned they did not have enough votes to pass it, reported Fox News. Poe said he was unhappy with the caucus opposition to the bill.
"To deliver on the conservative agenda we have promised the American people for eight years, we must come together to find solutions to move this country forward," said Poe, per Fox.

This is the idiot that didn’t stop anything Obama did. Those Executive Orders would have been toothless if Ryan had exerted his prerogative to not fund them.
Ryan was a fellow traveler of Obama, for all intents and purposes.
Are you implying that anyone who was against this is an anti Trumper?
