Firebrand Rep. Lauren Boebert is flirting with the idea of ousting Speaker Mike Johnson.
She said on Steve Bannon's podcast she doesn't "want to get there, but we need leadership."
Boebert previously had a hand ensuring any GOP member can file a motion to vacate the speaker.

Nearly four months after former GOP Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy was booted from his leadership role, Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert suggested the caucus may need to do the same to current Speaker Mike Johnson.
