Top conservative says Boehner's job is safe
By Eric Bradner CNN
UPDATED 11:28 AM CST Mar 01, 2015
WASHINGTON (CNN) —A leading conservative House member says there's no move afoot to oust Speaker John Boehner.
Rep. Jim Jordan, the Ohio Republican who chairs the hard-line House Freedom Caucus, said Sunday that Boehner's decision to advance a one-week measure to keep the Department of Homeland Security funded without including the attack on President Barack Obama's immigration actions that the right wanted -- but that the Senate couldn't pass -- won't cost the speaker his job.
"That's not gonna happen," Jordan told CNN's Dana Bash Sunday on "State of the Union."
Jordan said he hasn't had conversations with any conservative House colleagues about overthrowing Boehner.
