EXCLUSIVE – Freedom Caucus representative Lauren Boebert is expected to send a shot through the bow of House Republican Leadership in his Saturday speech at CPAC, demanding that a potential GOP majority aggressively enact several conservative priorities.
“I and other warriors in the House Freedom Caucus are ready for battle,” Boebert, R-Colo., plans to say in a speech Saturday at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Dallas, according to a copy obtained by Fox News.
The remarks suggest she could withhold support from Republicans seeking election to the House leadership if Republicans win a majority, including current Minority Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy, who plans to run for the Presidency.
“I wish I could tell you that I had complete faith in the leadership of the GOP in both the House and the Senate to defund the Deep State and hold the Biden regime to account,” she should say. “But I don’t. I’ve been disappointed too many times.

“And any member of Congress, from freshmen to leaders, who won’t fight with me to end medical tyranny, secure the southern border, and fire Anthony Fauci, they won’t have my support. Not in their re-election and certainly not for the speaker,” continues Boebert’s speech.
“The Freedom Caucus fired John Boehner, ran away Paul Ryan and we won’t tolerate another GOP speaker who works more with Democrats than Republicans.
“House Republicans need to stop funding tyranny. I will not vote to fund a government that mandates the COVID vaccine while allowing our country to be overrun with million unvaccinated foreigners. End the vax mandate for our hospital workers and our military, build the wall or I vote to shut down the Biden bureaucrats. »

Boebert added, “Any bill that funds tyranny while our country is being invaded, my Freedom Caucus allies are a no, and I’m a hell of a no.”
The salvo comes as Republicans are widely expected to take a majority in the House of Representatives in the midterm elections.
This will help Republicans seeking to block Liberal policies proposed by President Biden and to investigate his administration with the subpoena power of the committee. But it could also highlight divisions within the party when GOP leaders are forced to work with Biden and a possible Democratic majority in the Senate on must-have bills to fund the government, raise the debt ceiling and more. Again.
GOP firebrands like Boebert and his fellow Freedom Caucus members often aim to use their influence on these bills to implement what they say are key conservative policies. Top Republicans, like former House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, often see caucus as a thorn in their side.
“What Nancy Pelosi and other sane Democrats – those who have been around long enough to know how things work – face the AOC and his team reminds me a lot of what I had to face during my days as far-right chairman kooks of the Tea Party or the Freedom Caucus or whatever they were called,” Boehner wrote in his book, “On the House.”

The Freedom Caucus will carry much more weight if the GOP has a majority. And Boebert is expected to fire a veiled shot at top Republicans on Saturday, like McCarthy, R-California, demanding support in the implementation of the Freedom Caucus’ priority policies.
In addition to Boebert, Kimberly Guilfoyle and former President Donald Trump are scheduled to speak at CPAC.
