A group of more than 40 House Republicans have signed a letter calling out eight of their colleagues for voting with Democrats to remove former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., from his position, the Washington Examiner reported.
The letter states that the 45 House members are "ashamed and embarrassed" by the outcome of the vote, and added that the eight members of the GOP who voted to vacate that post "abandoned and undermined" the Republican Conference in order to "dictate" the next speaker.
It notes that "less than 4 percent of our Republican Conference" joined "with all Democrats to override the will of the remaining 96 percent of House Republicans on one of the most consequential votes the House has taken in over a century. "We cannot allow our majority to be dictated to by the alliance between the chaos caucus and the minority party that will do nothing more than guarantee the failure of our next Speaker."
"The injustice we all witnessed cannot go unaddressed — lest we bear responsibility for the consequences that follow," it continues. "Our Conference must address fundamental changes to the structure of our majority to ensure success for the American people."
