House Freedom Caucus members publicly reject an Axios report that some in the caucus want Rep. Brandon Gill removed.
Axios reported that a small group of unnamed House Freedom Caucus members is unhappy with Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) as he builds a national profile ahead of the midterms. Multiple caucus members, including Reps. Ralph Norman and Eli Crane, said they spoke on the record and were not quoted, and the caucus called the article "absurd" and a product of anonymous sources. Gill had not responded to the report as of Thursday night.
