McCarthy knows now that MAGA Republicans will no longer accept promises without follow through.
Teaming up with Democrats is the literal opposite of standing up to the “Uniparty”.
BRAVO, MATT!
What if it was a trap for the Democrats?
I’m willing to wait it out and see what happens.
“Gaetz has very few friends in the conference,” said his fellow Florida Rep. Carlos Gimenez.
**********
People who believe in responsibility and accountability usually don’t have many friends. Just saying.
The reaction of the GOPe tells me all I need to know.
The game HAD to end someday, the game of them making us promises, telling us to hold our nose and to support them now, all in return for good things for us in 45 days, 3 months, 6 months, or after the election.
A decade of lies and bullshot has to result in a wall somewhere or it will never stop.... ever.
RINO tears are the sweetest tears of all.
That’s all we ask ...thanks Matt.
“Gaetz maybe has a couple of friends in the delegation. But I’m not one of them.”
That’s part of the problem. Carlos here is worrying about hobnobbing with other career politicians and making “friends”, who can help advance his career and future financial prospects, not about doing the will of the voters. And the majority of Republicans in the House have the same priorities.
Whoever succeeds McCarthy should insist that the rule be changed allowing one person to submit a vacate the chair resolution. It should return to the way Pelosi had it which was requiring a Majority of the party Caucus. And following that, there should be a motion to expel Gaetz from the Caucus.
“Teaming up with Democrats is the literal opposite of standing up to the “Uniparty”.”
Except when it was McCarthy counting on the Democrats to keep their end of the deal he made with them to save his Speakership, right?
“Teaming up with Democrats”?
Are you speaking of McCarthy fully passing Biden’s “inflation reduction” bill that ended spending caps through 2025.
Are you speaking of McCarthy refusing to allow an impeachment vote? Are you referring to McCarthy passing this latest continuing resolution by flipping the finger to the Freedom Caucus and inviting Democrats and goving them everything they asked for?
McCarthy is the one who teamed up with Democrats.
Gaetz is the dog that caught the car. Surprise! It’s a limo full of Democrats.
YEAH! Lets emulate Pelosi. And lets expel Gaetz! That way we can get back to never fulfilling promises without those pesky negative consequences!
Amen for this article
Gaetz didn’t vote with the Democrats. The Democrats voted with Gaetz.
Matt did us a solid, you should be grateful. At a minimum we will be gettng a SOTHOR that has to be better than Kev the RINO King.
Absolutely disagree. Are you Nancy Pelosi? That rule had been in effect since the 20s until Pelosi changed it. Leave it in.
“And following that, there should be a motion to expel Gaetz from the Caucus.”
Why don’t you just tell your voter base to go to hell too and see how that works out for the party?
