Watch Thomas Massie Explain Why He Revolted Against John Boehner

Last night on The Independents, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), the de facto ringleader of today's revolt against the leadership of House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), made the case for why those who favor more limited government should be rooting for Boehner's imminent demise:

Reason on Massie here, including this Reason TV interview from 2013:

[Cytotoxic]

As long as it isn't Gohmert. He would be worse than Boner.

[Raston Bot]

Apparently a bunch of Dems are heading to some NY pol's funeral and will miss the vote so Boehner needs even less votes to keep his speaker role.

[Cytotoxic]

Wow, those are some fantastic optics.

[Pro Libertate]

Statist Speaker is statist.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Palace intrigue.

[antisocial-ist]

And it looks like the Orange one wins. Oh well.

[Winston]

Unfortunately who was the alternative? Pelosi? Gohmert?

[antisocial-ist]

The speaker doesn't have to be a member of the house. In some alternate reality, Massie is introducing Judge Nap as the new speaker right now.

[Winston]

Didn't Suderman ridicule Gohmert for noticing that and for his comments on Benghazi that are pretty close to Reason's own comments on Libya?

[antisocial-ist]

Now you lit the cytotoxic beacon.

[Cytotoxic]

Yes you did. Blatant lying does that.

Suderman ridiculed Gohmert for his various nutbar comments, which the area yokeltarians are trying very hard to pretend don't exist.

[Winston]

Except he included one that is pretty close to what Reason has actually said. Pretty disingenuous. Just like bashing
Nigel Farage for comments about Putin while publishing Sheldon Richman.

[Winston]

You Know Who Else didn't like a parliamentary speaker?

[antisocial-ist]

Mace Windu?

[Swiss Servator, Winter...jetzt]

Curse you!

[Swiss Servator, Winter...jetzt]

Palpatine?

[EDG reppin' LBC]

Amar Gopal Bose?

[Notorious G.K.C.]

Charles I?

[Charles Easterly]

Tigran Naghdalyan?

[Cytotoxic]

What's the vote break down?
