So, Gaetz is making clear, this isn't about personalities. This is about principle, and the institutional corruption that McCarthy represents as a sell out to the D.C. lobbyists. Everyone should support electing a Speaker who isn't compromised.
For those who have requested it, I will try to post another LIVE thread at "high noon" on the floor vote for Speaker of the House.

Matt Gaetz announced his intentions to resign from Congress in an interview on Fox News Channel’s “The Ingraham Angle” Thursday night if he and other GOP patriots continued to refuse to back Kevin McCarthy’s speakership campaign. That sentence is contorted and false. He will resign if mcC deals with dems. That sentence is saying he will resign if he continues to back mcC...???

We’re going to wind up with Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker, aren’t we?

It wasn’t a threat. He said he was so confident it wouldn’t happen that he was willing to say he’d resign if it did. Like saying “If that happens I’ll eat my hat”
To: Dr. Franklin
Don’t do it. Dont be a quitter. Your resignation would just make the Congress worse.

No, this has yet to play out. We have already reformed the House more than in the last 100 years.

Gaetz should not resign from Congress - he should leave the Republican Party and caucus with the GOP (occasionally) as an independent. And so should the other 20 holdouts.

Can’t have Dem trickery WITHOUT the RINOS joining in, so typical of our side!!!
To: bray
Agreed. This has definitely caught the attention of the sewer dwellers.

Too bad the rest of the 20 apparently aren’t so clear on that.
It is because the GOP wing of the uniparty is so monstrously compromised that McCarthy is in the leadership position he has — and will overtly team with the Dems to keep his position if that’s what it takes.
To: Drew68
“We’re going to wind up with Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker, aren’t we?”
Nope. We are going to wind up with a quid pro quo whereby enough Democrats back McCarthy for speaker in exchange for co-chair positions and there is nothing the Republican wing of the RINO party can do about it.

To: newnhdad
No, just a lone voice, (well 20 voices), in the wilderness who have had it up to their eyebrows with republitard duplicity, which cause all to suffer.
