So which Republicans voted against Boehner today? There were 25 in total. Some of whom you’d expect like Steve King, Dave Brat, Justin Amash, Jim Bridenstine and Louie Gohmert. But there were some Republicans who you would think would vote against the mentally unstable drunk John Boehner who didn’t. Mia Love, is a perfect example. Not only did she vote for Boehner, but she even joined the racist Congressional Black Caucus.
There is also Trey Gowdy, the sudden ‘golden boy’ of grass roots conservatives. Gowdy was strangely absent from today’s vote, but said he would have voted for Boehner anyway if he was there. Turns out Trey Gowdy is really no different than Darrell Issa, other than the accent.

As you can see, it was Dan Webster of Florida who got the most anti-Boehner votes with 12. Why Dan Webster? I haven’t heard much from him since he beat Alan Grayson in 2010.
The next time the GOP asks for your money, remember this vote for Speaker, and also remember this picture from today:

The fix is in. Boehner, McConnell and Obama will screw the American people over for the next two years and the GOP will pay in the 2016 elections.
