“Much like the Declaration of Independence, he’s laid a case against the crown,” talk-show host Mark Levin said on his show Tuesday evening. “He’s showing the institutional corruption of John Boehner.”
He continued, “John Boehner is Nancy Pelosi’s favorite Republican in the House of Representatives. So, while the Democrats should vote to remove John Boehner, many will vote to keep him because they like what he’s doing. They like what he’s doing to advance Obama’s agenda. We have a very brave member of Congress, Meadows, who has said enough is enough. I would encourage you to call your members of the House of Representatives and tell them to support Mark Meadows.”
Levin urged listeners to “overwhelm their phone lines,” “overwhelm their emails.”

In an interview with Levin, Meadows explained, “I felt like I had to take action on behalf of the American people. For all the millions of American who felt like we’re not accomplishing much in Washington, D.C., I felt like it was a move I had to make.”
Levin pointed out that Meadows would be punished for his actions.
“I am prepared for it,” Meadows said. “It’s not something I relish. It’s not something I want. I’ve already had a few discussions with some of my colleagues. … What it really gets down to, is if you’re not willing to stand up for the people who send you to Washington, D.C., why go? … If we’re allowing three or four people to make all the decisions, it’s wrong.”
Meadows said he has “an obligation” to make this move, and the “punishment is surely going to come, but it’s nothing compared to the sacrifices our Founding Fathers had to make.”
He added, “We have a rule book that has 13,008 pages of rules, and yet since I’ve been in Congress, I don’t know of one time where we’ve actually followed those rules.”
Meadows said Congress suspends or changes the rules, but never follows them.
“I couldn’t be silent any longer,” he said. “Indeed, it’s something that had to be done regardless of consequences. This particular decision may send me home. It may make sure I don’t get re-elected, but ultimately it had to be made.”
Levin warned Meadows that GOP elites will likely attack him in the GOP primary.
But Meadows said he has vowed to make sure his constituents’ voices are heard in Washington, D.C. “I want you to know something,” Levin said. “There are millions of us who agree with you.”
Meadows said he believes Boehner could make a quick vote of the issue.
“Obviously this is bigger than one vote tomorrow or next week,” he said. “This is about the future of our country. Will we have a representative form of government? That’s where we’re at.”
According to Fox News, some GOP members blasted the resolution, saying it would benefit President Obama by diverting attention from the issues of the Iran nuclear deal and Planned Parenthood defunding. Republican Study Chairman Bill Flores of Texas told Politico the resolution is a “cheap political stunt.” Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., who has a close relationship with Boehner, told Fox News: “You don’t raise any money, you need a way to raise money, you do gimmicks like this.”
But Meadows said he hasn’t raised money on this issue. Rep. Walter Jones, R-N.C., said GOP leadership is “not listening to the American people” – especially by preventing quick votes against same-sex marriage and federal funding of Planned Parenthood.
Immediately after Levin’s interview with Meadow, an excited listener called into the show and declared: “Hooray for Mark Meadows. I’m so frustrated with this Congress!”

Never happen. The Uniparty protects their own.
“Meadows explained, “I felt like I had to take action on behalf of the American people.”
I wonder when he got his first clue. Could it have been about five years ago when this crying excuse for an American man sided with dems in legislation against our national interests? Or was it one of the ensuing consistently damaging incidents since?
GETborhner out of there ! -bunch of weasels
I think he has a point.

“John, get your hand off my breast....”
The hysterical thing is that the DC Republicans are clueless as to how popular this move is with the base. They are clueless as to how Trump could possibly be doing well or how Cruz could be gaining traction. Instead, it is full steam ahead for John the tearful Boner and Marble Mouth Beotch McConnell. It is full steam ahead for the Chamber of Commerce and the GOPe figuring out how they can void the will of the rank and file of the party and dress another statist up in an elephant suit with a conservative mask. Millions in the Jebby Bush bank to attack conservatives ruthlessly and treat the media and the democrat with kid gloves during the general election.
This is all the more maddening when you realize that Boehner and McConnel had the Constitutional authority to prevent the SCOTUS from redefining marriage.
They are worthless.
Sure about that?
Mutiny could happen, do not doubt.
“Theater for the ugly” and the whole theatrical part is the way they pretend to oppose each other to keep their base appeased.
Can somebody – ANYBODY – tell me WHEN these two TRAITORS are going to stand up to their fellow TRAITOR down Pennsylvania Avenue? ANYBODY??
(CUE THE CRICKETS)
Their superhero names are Tan Crybaby and Plastic Faced B!tch.
The mutiny is not so sudden. Before this Congress was seated in January, there was a move afoot to push John Boehner aside, but the trouble was, the only viable rival for the job would have been - Nancy Pelosi. Only in the interests of keeping the Republican caucus together, was Boehner grudgingly accepted.
Whether simply tone-deaf, or there may have been compelling personal interests that Boehner was responding to, he continues to govern against the wishes of a particularly aware and large part of the base.
Boehner HAS to know about these mutterings of dissatisfaction. For that matter, most of the RINO’s have to have some inkling of the rumbles of dissent within their respective districts.
How do we make them pay attention and demonstrate at least a modicum of the good sense to show a little care? If they feel threatened, they won’t show up at town hall meetings, and they ignore phone, e-mail, and snail mail messages, even open letters to the editorial pages.
If they don’t stop running around in circles, we will have to nail their OTHER foot to the floor.
Oh, there will be a great noise all right, trumpeted from the mastheads.
And it will all be kabuki theater, red meat for the base.
Well thank both Donald Trump and Senator Ted Cruz for getting the ball rolling.
If they’ve done nothing else, at the least thy’ve got people talking.
But that leads people to thinking, and the Left can’t have that, as you’re well aware...
"Sorry, Nan, I thought that was your kneecap."
