On Tuesday’s broadcast of Fox News Channel’s “Special Report,” Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer speculated that House Majority Leader Eric Cantor might try to replace John Boehner as speaker of the House.
“It’s possible this is the prelude to a challenge Thursday to Boehner’s leadership by Eric Cantor,” Krauthammer said.
“I
think that would be quite naked to do it at this late hour, as a result
of this split over the vote. Look, there are a lot of conservatives in
the Republican caucus in the House who hate the bill — and for good
reason. I mean, this is a complete surrender on everything. The ratio of
tax cuts — of tax hikes to spending cuts — is 40 to 1, rather than 1 to
1 or 1 to 2 or 1 to 3. So, I mean it’s a complete rout by the
Democrats. So it’s understandable.”
