"They knew I was with [Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio] in the room, and I thought I might go with Scalise if everybody was gonna get behind Scalise, that was fine, but it's just not that way," said Rep. Barry Moore, R-Ala., after emerging from a meeting with the hardline-right House Freedom Caucus. "There’s just people that are not on his team."
