It’s extremely rare that a member of the House gets in the face of another member on the House floor but it’s unprecedented when they do it to a Speaker of their own party, but that’s exactly what Mark Meadows did on Wednesday. Paul Ryan is trying to make America a country without borders and Meadows is fighting back. He pointed out that members will be voting on two bills on Thursday that House members don’t even know what’s in them. But since the Democrats are supporting them, you know it can’t be good for the country.
Freedom Caucus Chair Meadows gets up in the grill of Ryan on the Hse flor in the middle of the vote series. Rare to have a mbr take on another mbr, let alone a Spkr like that.

Meadows says he had it out with the Spkr on the flr because no one is completely sure what immigration bills they are voting on tomorrow. “There are multiple things in the text which do not match the talking pts.” Meadows says he was “passionately advocating” for his position

Multiple GOPers mbrs tell Fox they were disturbed by the rhubarb on the House flr where Meadows got in the face of Ryan over the immigration bills. One source said the were a few “hard yes’s” who were now “squirming” after they saw the confrontation between Ryan/Meadows

There was significant confusion about precisely WHAT bills the House will consider on immigration tomorrow. That’s part of what sparked a nasty rhubarb on the House floor between House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows (R-NC).

There is no longer room for any doubt. Ryan needs to go now or the Republicans are goners in November. President Trump should keep his veto pen handy or 2020 will be just a pipe dream for him. Amnesty passes and the Blue Wave becomes a reality.
