Mia Love, the first black female Republican elected in Congress, is getting the side-eye from the Tea Party for voting to re-elect House Speaker John Boehner a move that ultra-conservatives, who have supported Love, are not too happy about.

This is Loves first vote since shes been sworn in as Utahs new GOP rep and critics, according to the Washington Post,are already wondering, How tea party is Mia Love?

Twenty-fiveof Boehners own party members refused to support his reelection as House Speaker. It was thebiggest revolt against a House Speaker in 150 years. Despite the Tea Party-pushed insurgency during Tuesdays vote, Boehner was seated for the third time as House Speaker.

Tea Party darling Love, however, didnt participate in the uprising and voted for Boehner. Cue the social media backlash from far-right conservatives:

If this is an example of how Mia Love will be in Congress, shell be done in 2 years. #disappointed, one tweeted, quoted by theWashington Post.

MIALOVE TRAITOR TO CONSERVATIVES FOR HER BOEHNER FOR SPEAKER VOTE! another exclaimed.

snake in the grass..MiaLove the darling of the Tea Party voted to keep Speaker John Boehner in office.another back stabbing rat..one quipped.

Mia Love, in an e-mail to the Washington Examiner,defended her vote for Boehner:

There were no qualified or notable campaigns for speaker within the Republican Party other than John Boehner. Casting a vote for a candidate who has not actively campaigned and does not have the support to be speaker is an indirect vote for Nancy Pelosi, and I will not vote for Nancy Pelosi. There will be a time and a place for me to stand as a lone voice of dissension, but the vote for the speaker, is not that place. For me to be an effective congressman over the next two years it is important for me to be on the side of the elected speaker.

Though she was endorsed by FreedomWorks, a national Tea Party group, in 2012 and supported by the Tea Party Express in 2014, Loves Tea Party values are being challenged.
