(Jonathan Davis) The former chair of the House Freedom Caucus, which formed on the heels of the so-called “Tea Party movement” that sprang up midway through President Barack Obama’s first term, says that the days of GOP-lite leadership in the vein of Speakers Paul Ryan and John Boehner is over, while another member says 2022 is the year the establishment wing becomes the minority.

In an interview with the Washington Times, Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, talked of how the GOP is becoming more conservative, not less.

The Washington Times reports:

Mr. Jordan said his Republican Party is finally embracing the values espoused by the arch-conservative House Freedom Caucus that he helped found in 2015.

As the successor to the Tea Party Caucus, the Freedom Caucus advanced the populist movement’s battle with the GOP establishment and ultimately found a champion in former President Donald Trump and his “America First” agenda of curbing foreign interventions and cracking down on illegal immigration.

The Ohio congressman, who served as the first chair of the Freedom Caucus, chronicles the group’s rise in his new book, “Do What You Said You Would Do: Fighting for Freedom in the Swamp.”

“I do think the party has moved in a conservative direction,” Jordan told The Washington Times. “I always said we’re a populist party rooted in conservative principles, and no one demonstrated that better than President Trump — that’s what the Freedom Caucus is really about.”

One of the group’s early victories: Ousting Boehner — who has gone on to trash Trump — from the Speakership over his reluctance to push right-leaning policies and take on Democrats.

Boehner this year also called out Jordan, calling him a “legislative terrorist” who he says blows up the political process without really accomplishing anything. In his own memoir that was released earlier this year, the former Speaker declared that the GOP should purge the far-right wing of the party while referring to them as “everyone from garden-variety whack jobs to insurrectionists.”

But in his book, Jordan discusses moving against Boehner and describes it as the opening salvos of battles that eventually led to Trump’s election a few years later as the party moved closer to them and away from the RINO faction.

“The formation of HFC and the election of Donald Trump were driven by the same set of events that unfolded over an eight-year time frame,” Jordan wrote. “Some were actions done solely by Democrats, others involved both parties, but unfortunately, most of the events that became the catalyst for the formation of HFC and the election of Donald Trump were failures by Republicans — failures to do what they said they would do.”

Cases in point:

— After Trump won, Republicans held both chambers of Congress but could not muster enough support to repeal Obamacare after promising to do so if they had the majority since Obama signed the Democrat-pushed bill into law in 2010. Even a slimmed-down repeal was torpedoed by the now-late Sen. John McCain of Arizona.

— Republican leaders of the era constantly talked about ‘border security’ but refused to fund Trump’s border wall.

— GOP establishment leaders also pushed balancing the federal budget and cutting the country’s massive debt by scaling back spending, but Trump’s first budget that cut spending was declared DOA by both Democratic and Republican leaders alike.

The Times adds:

Former Rep. Dave Brat, a tea party candidate who unseated then-House Majority Leader Eric Cantor in the 2014 GOP primary in Virginia, said the Freedom Caucus was tuned into the party‘s base long before the conference fully recognized its voters’ concerns.

“When I got to DC, I was [considered] a renegade and quite radical,” Mr. Brat said. “I fought for less than trillion-dollar budget deficits and sane spending and some of those policies back then that the Freedom Caucus was very, very concerned with.”

Meanwhile, Freedom Caucus member Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida says next year the Boehner-Ryan faction will be history.

“We are going to take power after this next election,” Gaetz told the Times.

“When we do, it’s not going to be the days of Paul Ryan and Trey Gowdy [when there was] no real oversight and no real subpoenas. It’s going to be the days of Jim Jordan, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Dr. [Paul] Gosar and myself,” he added.

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at [email protected].
