Steve Bannon reportedly tried to force House Freedom Caucus members to back replacing the Affordable Care Act when he met with them days before Friday’s repeal vote . “Guys, look,” Bannon reportedly said. You have no choice but to vote for this bill.”Bannon apparently did not count on the fact that House Republicans knew they actually did have a choice in the matter. “You know, the last time someone ordered me to something, I was 18 years old,” one of the members reportedly told Bannon. Earlier in the day, The Daily Beast reported that anyone who didn’t follow Bannon’s orders would be put on a “shit list.”
