Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) suggested Friday he might not support Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio) for Speaker.
"Well, right now I'm not very happy with the speaker so let's see what happens over the next several weeks, let's put it that way," Amash said.
Amash is one of four House Republicans kicked from their plum committee posts this week by Boehner.
The move has triggered opposition from outside conservative groups, some of whom have launched efforts to replace Boehner as Speaker. Within the GOP conference, the response has been more muted.
In an interview with CNN, Amash refused to say whether he would support Boehner for another term as speaker.
"Were going to see how the next few weeks go. And whether hes willing to make amends," Amash said.
