Tea Party Republican Warren Davidson has Boehners seat

Boehner's successor joins Freedom Caucus

By HEATHER CAYGLE 06/09/16 04:53 PM EDT

The House Freedom Caucus helped drive former Speaker John Boehner out of office.
Now, Boehner's successor is the newest member of the group of conservative hardliners.

In a cruel twist of irony, Boehner and former House Majority Leader Eric Cantor were both replaced by members who joined the Freedom Caucus. * Very Interesting*

The Freedom Caucus, The Tea Party, and Trump can all be laid at the feet of the so-called GOP establishment. Years and years of pandering to delusional crackpots who know nothing about government. Now those crackpots are getting themselves elected, cheered on by the equally warped, and bringing with them their ignorance and prejudice.
