Democrats devise way to rein in GOP House Freedom Caucus cranks gone wild
No one has a handle on the GOP's right-wing House Freedom Caucus, least of all Republican Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who stopped by a caucus meeting Monday to try to reason with the group.
Ive been meeting with Steny [Hoyer] and I went to the Freedom Caucus last night. We had a good discussion, McCarthy told Politico. They want to fight. Theyre frustrated with everything thats happening, and I get all that. But my point is: Whats the goal, whats the strategy?
Forget about strategythe Freedom Caucus cranks are mad about everything from Joe Biden's rightful victory to the removal of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from her committee assignments, and they're just going to keep jamming the House floor schedule every way they can with no end in sight.
