Referencing his daughter fighting cancer, Van Orden had harsh words for the Freedom Caucus holdouts: "[I show] up to work every f------ day," he said in a closed-door meeting, referring to the four legislative days the House went without a floor vote, sources told ABC News. Leadership was also relatively mum about the lively conference meeting. When asked whether there was drama in the room, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said, "No" and described what transpired behind the closed doors as "a little bit of fun."
"We're not going to live in the era of the imperial speaker anymore," Gaetz told reporters after he voted against the rule Tuesday.
