I’ve been on a Freedom Caucus kick regarding Q post about recruiting Trump and came across this from Brietbart. Basically Mark Meadows is who we have to thank. His beating of Boehner kicking out of his seat(installing Paul Ryan as the speaker-dirty) started this whole movement.
Meadows’ efforts to remove Boehner proved successful. Boehner resigned in the fall of 2015, as Trump–a fellow outsider, like Meadows–was similarly on the rise on the presidential campaign trail. While Boehner’s ouster cleared the way for his establishment ally, now former Speaker Paul Ryan assumed command in the House. With Ryan’s efforts to push establishment priorities–frequently at odds with the campaign vision laid out by President Trump–it was Meadows who often kept the Speaker in check.
