The Minority Leader issued biting remarks about the Speaker on Wednesday, questioning whether she should retain her position and claiming that she was damaging the country. "What I'm concerned [about] now is the speaker of the House changed the course of that office for the history of this country. That a body that brings legislation, a body that represents the rule of law would change the course of what it actually means.
"So I think at the end of the day the speaker owes an apology to this nation, and I think it's even a question why she should stay in her job."
