Rep. Ted Yoho (R-Fla.) says the removal of two Republican lawmakers from an influential committee in apparent retribution for voting against Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) is something that would happen in a "communist country."
Florida Republican Reps. Rich Nugent and Daniel Webster, who were among 25 House Republicans voting against Boehner for Speaker on Tuesday, were then booted from the Rules Committee, which controls the flow of legislation to the floor and has members appointed by the Speaker.
"They voted the way their districts wanted to," Yoho, who also broke with Boehner, said on Fox News's "Hannity" Tuesday night. "And to be held in jeopardy for that or retribution is wrong, because that would be something you would expect in China, Cuba, Russia or in a communist country to, when you have a voice of dissension, you'd be punished.
"But in America, where we honor free speech and a Constitution that protects that, we should not have to go through that," he added.
the RW has evolved from calling Obama a communist to calling EACH OTHER communists. .. in less than 48 hours. Time is wasting boys, you only have 2 years to destroy the Republican Party. Get Busy !!!!
