Freshman Utah Republican Rep. Mia Love said during a radio interview at the Conservative Political Action Convention Thursday that she was proud and excited to vote for a bill stripping funding from President Barack Obama's immigration executive orders.

And she suggested that if Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell can't deliver votes to pass that legislation in the Senate, he should be ousted.

"I was so excited that we were able to say, 'We are going to defund this president's unconstitutional policy that he is pushing through.' I am telling you that I am standing strong," she told Talk Radio 1210 WPHT in Philadelphia.

"I would like to just say that we have a leader in the Senate that is supposed to do his job and get the six votes that he needs in order to get this bill passed and if he can't do it, we need to get somebody else to do it," she said.
