Fox News tries to talk GOP congressman out of doomed attempt to remove Pelosi



By Oliver Willis -September 18, 2020 11:15 AM
Even Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy does not support the conservative plan to remove Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Fox News host Brian Kilmeade on Friday tried to talk Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) out of proposing a procedural vote intending to remove Speaker Nancy Pelosi from her position in the House of Representatives.

The House Freedom Caucus, the most conservative faction of Republicans in the House, is pressuring House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy to support a floor vote to "vacate the chair" with the goal of removing Pelosi.

Republicans would need to get a majority of the House to back the unusual move, but Democrats currently hold a 232-198 majority after winning the 2018 midterm election. McCarthy has said he does not support the action.

"Congressman, it's all symbolism," Kilmeade told Roy. "I understand your sentiment, but I think the last thing we need now is another symbolic vote."

it will just strengthen the Democrats even more, and show your hostility and unpatriotic tendencies.
Hopefully it will affect you election chances.

The free airtime on Faux would help, I suppose.
That's if he's really in a tough fight.
If that's not his reason, he's being an ass.
