Analysis: Closest of friends, Mark Meadows and Jim Jordan split over Kevin McCarthy
, today’s Freedom Caucus is poised to have more influence than Meadows and Jordan dreamed of when they founded it eight years ago as a breakaway group for roughly three dozen Republicans. But these recent fractures raise doubts about the Freedom Caucus’s ability to stay united, or whether the members will flail and waste this new political muscle they’ve acquired.
“The food’s not as good, but the coffee is better,” said Rep. Thomas Massie , who has never joined the Freedom Caucus but is a regular guest as an ideological kindred spirit. “Pretty telling,” Rep. Steve Womack , a close ally of previous speakers Boehner and Paul D. Ryan , said early Friday. “If they’re meeting in his townhouse, he’s at least a fly on the wall. But knowing Mark — and I know him pretty well — I’m sure he’s trying to exert some influence.”Meadows never reached a peaceful accord with McCarthy, and that enmity and distrust lasted long after he left the House to become Trump’s chief of staff.
