Declaring “it’s time for a change,” Representative Louie Gohmert (R-TX) took declared his opposition to Representative John Boehner (R-OH) for Speaker of the House.
“A poll came out Friday saying 60% or more of the Republicans in the country that voted in the last election, including independents who voted Republican, they want a change,” Gohmert said. “They want a different Speaker.”
Gohmert vowed to depart from Boehner’s tyrannical ways.
“We’ll get back to appropriating and go through regular committee process, so everybody, every Representative from both parties will have a chance to participate in the process and not have a dictator running things,” he said.
