Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, criticized congressional Republican leaders, who he said have had too much of a “top-down” approach, and made overtures to House conservatives on Sunday.

“Really, the role of the speaker is to be the constitutional officer who makes sure the process is fair, it’s balanced, we protect minority rights, and that we allow these good bills and ideas to percolate from the bottom-up, rather than a top-down driven process where the speaker is telling the body what to do,” Chaffetz said on ABC’s “This Week.”
