Daniel Webster? That’s who the House Freedom Caucus is backing to be the next Speaker of the House to replace the old, crying, drunk John Boehner. The House Freedom Caucus is basically the those ‘evil right wingers’ that forced out John Boehner as Speaker. But Daniel Webster over Jason Chaffetz seems odd to me. I know Chaffetz is an amnesty shill, but so is Webster (and McCarthy who is basically Boehner Jr.)
Daniel Webster had a D rating from Conservative Review with a liberty score of just 64%. Chaffetz is in the 80s. I don’t understand this one.

The race to replace John Boehner as Speaker of the House just heated up big time.
Reports say the House Freedom Caucus will back Congressman Daniel Webster for Speaker.
The other candidates for Speaker include House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz.
The group recently met with Speaker candidates and came to the conclusion that Webster was the candidate to support in tomorrow’s vote. A full floor vote will occur later this month.
Congressman Curt Clawson, a former basketball standout at Purdue University and Congressman from Southwest Florida, praised Webster in a statement to Conservative Intel.
“In basketball and in business it is critical that we stand together as a team and do what is right for the team” said Clawson. “I am supporting Congressman Webster from Florida for Speaker and am urging members of the Freedom caucus to stay strong and stand together as a team of Constitutional conservatives.”
Calls for someone like popular South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy continue to rage as conservatives have been unhappy with the current crop of candidates. It will be interesting to see how much traction Webster gets and whether the Freedom Caucus sticks with him.
