Lauren Boebert throws tantrum over debt deal: 'That's the end of Kevin McCarthy's speakership'

Raw Story  

Rep. Lauren Boebert on Tuesday did not rule out a motion to vacate the chair in an attempt to remove Kevin McCarthy as speaker over a deal that would raise the U.S. debt ceiling. During an appearance on Steve Bannon's War Room podcast, Boebert accused McCarthy of a "violation" of his promises because amendments were not being allowed in the House Rules Committee. But she predicted the demise of McCarthy's speakership if many Democrats supported the debt ceiling bill. "If this bill passes with a majority of Democrats voting in favor of it, then I'm sorry, that's the end of Kevin McCarthy's speakership," she warned.
