House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio swears in members of the 113th Congress on Thursday on Capitol Hill.
"I didn't know how it was going to turn out," Huelskamp says. "In this town, the intimidation and pressure was intense. There were a lot of people who wanted to vote no."
Huelskamp says the conservative colleagues who posed a threat to Boehner's speakership were whipped hard.
"I think the arm twisting was very intense. Committee assignments were threatened, " Huelskamp says. "Folks who received money from the NRCC were warned they may not receive that money again."
