“Frederick Douglas, who knew something about power, said, ‘Power concedes nothing without a demand’ – never has and never will – this was never about Kevin McCarthy,” Perry told ABC’s “This Week.” “This is about power for the American people.

“And with all due respect, Nancy Pelosi ran Congress like a prison camp, with no accountability.” …

“You know, the American people are very, very tired of this gang of seven, gang of eight, literally seven or eight people, or just a few people in Washington, D.C., running all of the policy for the American people,” Perry told ABC.

“So, when we had a framework of an agreement where the American people can be in charge, when their representatives can actually bring amendments to the floor in good faith, said, ‘Sure, if we can do that, then I’m all in.'”
