LAUNCHED: #FireBoehner

After the GOP purged some its most hard-right members from key congressional committees, Tea Party sites are backing a campaign to depose House Speaker John Boehner.

American Majority Action (AMA) is launching a #FireBoehner campaign. If 16 members of the Republican Party abstain from voting for Boehner as speaker in January, he will be one vote shy of the 218 necessary to confirm his speakership. “Speaker Boehner has been an abysmal failure as speaker, and his latest purge is the nail in the coffin for conservatives,” said Ned Ryun, president and CEO of AMA. “Boehner has never won a negation [sic] battle with the White House or Senate — and he’s been nothing short of an embarrassing spokesman for the conservative movement. It’s time for him to go.”

Among the sites calling for Boehner's removal are Breitbart and Daily Caller.
