It's just petty, and an "I'll show you" at this point. They already have the commitment to allow for the reinstatement of the rule allowing for a removal vote with only 5 members. Let McCarthy be speaker and then if he sides with the Dems or doesnt address promised issues, simply get 5 guys and call for a vote to remove him. McCarthy stomped on the head of his own ---- when he called for a vote, knowing that he did not have the 218 votes. What the freedom caucus is now doing is purely punitive and just wasting time. Elect him then run him out on a rail if he doesnt honor his conservative promises. Prime example of why Republicans cannot win elections. Every single democrat votes in lockstep on every party issue. Republicans would rather argue about who is the biggest conservative, when there are probably less than 5, in total, in congress that are truly conservative in their principles and actions.
