GOP congressman dismisses anti-McCarthy insurgents, says '95% should not cower' to 5 people
Fox News
Moderate Republican Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb., dismissed threats from conservative Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., to force House Speaker Kevin McCarthy out of leadership.
"[Gaetz] represents two or three percent of the conference, frankly. And I do think a lot of the folks, partisan Democrats, want to see Matt force the issue because it creates problems for us," said Bacon, who represents Omaha and surrounding counties to the west.

"The bottom line is the 95% should not cower to or be bullied by five people. We've got to do the right thing. Let's just work in a bipartisan manner to begin with and move these five people to the side and start governing for the country," he added.
