Why House Freedom Caucus supports Ryan

From the files of Julia Hahn at Breitbart.com

Media figures have been struggling to explain why the House Freedom Caucus supported Ryan, but the PBS documentary - reveals that one of the founding members of the House Freedom Caucus, Mick Mulvaney, embraces an even more progressive immigration agenda than Cantor himself.

[The documentary shows how Mulvaney] is perhaps Ryan’s closest amnesty partner in Congress, and other House Freedom Caucus members share that same libertarian open borders ideology - [According to the Daily Caller's Matt] Lewis - Mick Mulvaney, Raul Labrador, Justin Amash, Jim Jordan, and Mark Meadows -  [all] support expanding record high immigration–against the wishes of more than nine in ten Republican voters who want all immigration frozen or slashed, according to Pew.

The documentary confirms the thesis that while the GOP electorate rebelled against GOP leaders because they thought they were not conservative enough, these House Freedom Caucus members rebelled against GOP leaders because they were not libertarian enough.

Because Ryan would have known this better than anyone, he had every reason in the world to put the Speaker’s decision in the hands of the House Freedom Caucus.

In effect, the revolt against open borders that felled Cantor and which began the leadership shake-up that toppled Boehner and blocked McCarthy was placed, at the final minutes, in the hands of a caucus founded and populated by several of Congress’ most open borders members.
