John Boehner’s allies returned fire at Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) on Wednesday, saying the conservative lawmaker’s half-hatched plot to depose the Speaker has boosted Democrats like Hillary Clinton.
“It’s terrible. It makes no sense. It helps the Democrats. It divides the party,” Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) told The Hill. “We should be spending all of August talking about the Iranian nuclear agreement, not this fool’s errand of vacating the Speaker’s chair.

“It makes us look like a banana republic,” he continued. “All this does it create chaos, and a real conservative should not want chaos, certainly not needless chaos.”
Rep. Tim Walberg (R-Mich.), a conservative former pastor who works closely with Meadows, said he, too, disagreed with the North Carolina Republican’s unexpected action. Walberg serves as vice chairman of Meadow’s Oversight and Government Reform subcommittee and considers Meadows a friend.
“The Speaker’s leadership up to this point has not warranted this action by Mr. Meadows,” Walberg said in an interview. “I dont know why Mr. Meadows did it. I don’t support him in that. … We’re friends but I have a lot of friends who have done things I don’t agree with. Mark and I will have a conversation.”
Even lawmakers who are often Boehner foes think the resolution is an ill-advised strategy.

Quite ironic isn't it? Attempting to remove the leadership that has been intentionally dividing the party would "divide the party."
The moderates' complicity with the democrats is being exposed, and they don't like it!
Oh, and Mark Meadows for Senate!! (against Burr in NC)
StemExpress a huge seller of aborted baby body parts as mentioned on Megan Kelly last night has an interesting connection to the House leader..
“StemExpress” and the owner listed is Cate Spears Dyer, from Rescue, CA, who’s sister is a staff member to John Boehner, Charlotte Spears Ivancic who’s recently “celebrated by Nancy Pelosi for working so hard to get the “doc fix” done!
Who is making the profits from harvesting and selling these baby body parts?
Maybe he should call one up on the phone ask him what he thinks about Boehner.
fine with me
I like Meadows
Meadows Allies: Boehner boosts Dems
“Boehner allies: Coup plot boosts Dems”
As opposed to the GOPe boosting them now?
Why doesn’t Pete just switch sides if he is so stuck on unity. They got unity is spades...
Miss Bonnie and McGoner need to go.
The Cartel speaks...they must think voters are stupid.
Now we get the scope of how rotten the House GOP is as well.
The fix is in.
So long sovereignty.
You know, they don’t think before they speak.
You’re exactly right.
Is King (NY) a Republican? Why isnt he running for POTUS with Linda?
Boehner divides the party along with his ilk that suck up to Dems and vote with them to destory America for their own personal gain.
Go to hell GOPe.
It worked for Gruber and Obama.....
Because we're tired of watching it run away.
Why does King even have an 'R' next to his name? I can't remember the last time that he uttered a phrase that didn't sound like it was coming from a Democrat.
The party is divided. And Boehner and McConnell divided it.
It looks like King and his ilk is okay with dividing the Nation. The party? Not so much.
Elite be gone!
Boner and his liberal travelers in the GOP are afraid that eventually enough conservatives say enough of this treasonous crap and force another vote for speaker where he will have to rely on democrat votes to retain power.
Sure there will be some GOP groupies that would never forgo their servitude to their beloved Party but many would see this and have to question why Boner needs and sadly gets democrat votes to support his speakership.
