UPDATE 12:15 p.m. ET:
Donald Trump Jr. is getting even more aggressive in calling out McCarthy critics, specifically Boebert, Gaetz, and Perry:
We all want House leadership to be as conservative as possible, but I'm not okay with throwing House Leadership to Dems & Never Trumpers. Being fine with Hakeem Jeffries becoming Speaker simply out of spite for McCarthy isn't what any Republican voted for in November.
Disaster. https://t.co/B1UowXqeA8

UPDATE 12:12 p.m. ET:
These statements try to obfuscate the literally unlimited power they would be handing to McCarthy as Speaker. "Just put him in there, we'll deal with the individual issues with him later........" uhuh........ We can see exactly where that's gotten us all of these years.
I don't care who is on TV speaking....... trust your own gut!!
