Rep. Lauren Boebert said her 'favorite president' Donald Trump should call GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy and tell him 'it's time to withdraw' after the House failed to make the California Republican its Speaker after four rounds of voting.
The Colorado Republican noted that Trump had been calling McCarthy's opposition and telling them to change their vote.
'I think it actually needs to be reversed. The president needs to tell Kevin McCarthy that, sir, you do not have the votes and it's time to withdraw,' she said at the start of the fifth vote.

“With us, former White House deputy chief of staff to Fox News contributor. Karl, I suppose you have to be wondering what sort of horse-trading was done in between the votes here?” began Fox News anchor Sandra Smith.

Representative Dan Crenshaw (R., Texas) on Wednesday slammed the 20 House Republicans who have opposed House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy’s bid for the speakership.
“I’m tired of your stupid platitudes that some consultant told you to say on the campaign trail, alright. Behind closed doors tell us what you actually want, or shut the f*** up,” he said of the holdouts, according to the Washington Post’s Dylan Wells.//snip//“They need to be men and adults and say what they want, instead of playing these little games, that’s what we’re asking. That’s what I’ve asked them. Some of them are my friends. Stop saying platitudes like, ‘Washington is broken. We can’t do the

“We cannot let the terrorists win,” Crenshaw said.

Conservative writer and author David French is joining The New York Times as a columnist, the newspaper announced on Tuesday.
French, who has emerged as a leading critic among conservatives of former President Trump in recent years, helped launch the anti-Trump conservative website “The Dispatch” before spending several years as a writer at The National Review. The Times, in a note announcing French’s hire, described him as “forthright in his views, yet open to counterargument; sincere in his ideological commitments, yet willing to call out those who normally share his beliefs when he believes they’ve wandered astray.”
French begins at the Times later this month.

Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz decided to play hardball Tuesday evening, writing to the Architect of the Capitol that Kevin McCarthy should not be allowed to occupy the physical office of the Speaker of the House considering that he just lost three consecutive votes for the position: (Tweet) “The Speaker of the House Office in the Capitol is currently being occupied by Kevin McCarthy,” Gaetz wrote. “Kevin McCarthy is not the Speaker of the House. He lost 3 consecutive votes today. I’m demanding answers from the Architect of the Capitol.”
McCarthy has been operating out of the Speaker’s office during his attempts to win the job.

Back in December President Donald Trump publicly backed House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s bid for speaker of the House in the next Congress.
The 76-year-old former commander-in-chief also warned that GOP lawmakers opposing the California Republican are playing a “very dangerous game.”
“Yeah, I support McCarthy,” Trump told Breitbart News during an interview from his Doral golf resort in Miami, Florida.
“Look, I think this: Kevin has worked very hard,” Trump added. “He is just — it’s been exhausting. If you think, he’s been all over. I think he deserves the shot. Hopefully, he’s going to be very strong and going to be very good and he’s going to do what everybody wants.”

Kevin McCarthy dissenters are unfazed by former President Donald Trump's warning that standing in the way of the California Republican's speaker bid will cause the GOP an 'embarrassing defeat.'
'Sad!' Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., told DailyMail.com of Trump weighing in on the House Speaker's race.
'This changes neither my view of McCarthy nor Trump nor my vote,' he added.
Gaetz tweeted Monday that 'Supporting McCarthy is the worst Human Resources decision President Trump has ever made.'
In the first two rounds of voting on Monday 19 Republicans voted for a candidate other than GOP Leader McCarthy for speaker. In the third round, 20 did so,
