Bachmann Pulls Out, Endorses Hensarling For GOP Conference Chair

[bobbyw24]

Michele Bachmann has pulled out of the race for GOP Conference Chair and endorsed Jeb Hensarling, who is now all but assured of gaining the position.

In a statement released Wednesday evening, Bachmann said:

"Jeb Hensarling has my enthusiastic support for his candidacy to become Republican House Conference Chair. Jeb has demonstrated his commitment to limited government, reduced spending and lower taxes and he will be a strong voice for the Tea Party's call for these values.


"I look forward to continuing my consistent support of the Tea Party. I plan to advance the Tea Party ideals through their listening arm, the Tea Party Caucus. It is my wish to bring new faces to the caucus, including freshmen members."

"The new Congress will have great opportunities to lead our country into the direction our founders intended. I spoke with Mr. Boehner and other members of leadership and I am convinced they will wholeheartedly work towards the issues the American people are calling for such as fiscal responsibility, ending the bailouts and repealing Obamacare."

Hensarling issued an equally graceful reply:

The freshmen should wait to join until Rand gets his organized. Michelle stole the caucus to begin with.

However, it is more than that; a bunch who joined are more likely to subvert what needs to be done than help it along. It was a cosmetic 'conservative' step before the election.

It's the House, not Senate.
