Lauren Boebert Takes Long Pause Before Nominating Kevin Hern for Speaker (VIDEO)
Representative Lauren Boebert elicited jeers from her fellow Congress members on Thursday as she made a surprising choice for speaker of the House. The Colorado Republican prefaced her vote by cheekily noting that she’d be opting for “Kevin,” but her pick wasn’t the person that some may have initially assumed.
On Thursday, the House speaker race dragged on following several voting rounds the previous two days. Although Congressman Kevin McCarthy, a California Republican, was once considered the frontrunner, his chances of securing the spot have dwindled as a group of hardline conservatives seeks to prevent his win. . .
“I rise to cast my vote for a member not of the Freedom Caucus, but for Kevin,” she said, taking a pause before continuing, “the unanimously elected chairman of the Republican Study Committee, a businessman from humble beginnings, a leader, a true consensus candidate that can deliver on promises we have made to the American people.
“I vote today for Kevin Hern of Oklahoma,” she concluded as congressional lawmakers started to speak over her in the background.
