John “sore winner” Boehner admitted in a news conference on Wednesday that he punished Reps Daniel Webster and Richard Nugent for opposing his re-election bid for Speaker of the House. Hours after Webster and Nugent voted against Boehner in favor of someone else, both men lost their seats on the House Rules Committee.
Boehner stated, “Because of some of the activities on the floor, two of our members weren’t put back on the committee immediately.” In September 2014, Boehner had stated there would be no punishing of “dissenters.” That same sentiment was echoed last week by Boehner’s spokesperson, Michael Steele.
