So apparently the Freedom Caucus has a mad on Paul Ryan for not supporting perennial pain-in-the-ass, my-way-or-the-highway, Tim Huelskamp of Kansas. The gall of these guys is just astounding!
Freedom Caucus knives out for Ryan - Politico
Huelskamp screwed around with the Farm Bill, and got on the wrong side of John Boehner one too many times. Boehner had Steering kick his ass off of Agriculture, which I’m led to believe is important for the state of Kansas.
Now the Caucus is blaming Paul Ryan for Huelskamp shitting his own bed and having to lie in it. “Oh, Paul Ryan should have supported Tim.” I don’t blame Ryan one bit for letting Huelskamp get what was coming to him. At the very next opportunity, it was totally clear to everyone that the Caucus was going to be their usual irascible selves, and jerk everything around as much as they could. Having Huelskamp gone was a good thing for Ryan and the Leadership.
If you were wondering why our government can’t seem to get anything done, look no further than the picture above. Huelskamp, and his jackass buddies Jordan and Meadows, think that they somehow have a mandate to stop everything at all costs.
The Freedom Caucus IS Donald Trump’s base. They ARE what is wrong with the Republican base. They ARE why we can’t have nice things.
