<p>Fox News host Sean Hannity grilled Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) during an interview Wednesday evening over why she was not backing Rep. Kevin McCarthy&#8217;s (R-CA) bid for House speaker.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are hearing from many people who are still voting with Kevin McCarthy who are very supportive of what we’re doing and they’re cheering us on,&#8221; she claimed. &#8220;So, there are more for us than are against us.&#8221;</p>
<p>The group opposing McCarthy&#8217;s bid for Speaker has 20 members, while the group supporting McCarthy&#8217;s bid has more than 200 members.</p>
<p>&#8220;You don&#8217;t have the votes and it&#8217;s time to withdraw. He has 203. Your side has 20,&#8221; Hannity said. &#8220;Why is it time for him to withdraw and not you when he has so many more votes?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Well, Sean, he needs 218 and he does not have 218,&#8221; Boebert responded. &#8220;We’ve been trying to work this out.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Neither do you,&#8221; Hannity responded.</p>
<p>Hannity repeatedly asked how the opposition to McCarthy planned on getting more then 20 votes over the course of the 10-minute interview.</p>
<p>&#8220;Let’s have a final answer. Who do you want?&#8221; Hannity asked. &#8220;Who will you only support to be speaker? It&#8217;s not that hard.&#8221;</p>
<p>Boebert declined to answer the question, but added that the candidate &#8220;doesn’t even have to be a solid conservative.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;You can believe your position, but I’m using your words. You said to President Trump, you said — &#8216;we&#8217;re very clear he doesn&#8217;t have 218. So you need to ask him to withdraw,'&#8221; Hannity later said. &#8220;If by Friday, you and your group of 20 don&#8217;t have a name with 30 votes, is it time for you to withdraw? And if not, why do you support a double standard?&#8221;</p>
<p>Boebert dodged the question.</p>
<p>&#8220;Kevin McCarthy doesn&#8217;t have 218 votes,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Kevin McCarthy will not be speaker.&#8221;</p>
<p>They continued to go back and forth until the end of the interview.</p>
