Speaker John Boehner has been accused by Rep. Steve King of conducting "intimidation tactics" after 25 Republicans voted against him remaining as House leader.

Boehner said on Wednesday that he’s planning a "family conversation" with his conference to help heal the growing rift in the GOP — even as he was attacked for booting off two defectors from the Rules Committee in what conservatives view as an act of retribution, The Hill reported.

Florida Rep. Daniel Webster, who challenged Boehner for speaker, and Florida Rep. Rich Nugent, who voted for Webster, were kicked off the committee before it convened for the first time in the new session. Their name plates were removed from the dais and their chairs were left empty.

King, an Iowa Republican who backed Webster for speaker, has now accused Boehner on Twitter of employing scare tactics to intimidate rank-and-file Republicans.
