Gohmert said after “all years of broken promises, it’s time for a change.” This comes after Rep. Tod Yoho (R-Florida) also announced that he would not put his support behind Boehner.

“This is not a personal attack against Mr. Boehner, however, the people desire and deserve a choice,” Yoho said on his Facebook page. “In November, they resoundingly rejected the status quo.”

Gohmert said that Boehner made big promises, but hasn’t followed through on them. He and the current House members passed the cromnibus bill and amnesty. Those challenging Boehner have said that the people have lost faith in him.
