I'm not sure that that is true. I didn't pursue it but I know Chip Roy roundly condemned it; at least one other Caucus member.
***In Texas, 123 R’s voted to impeach AG Paxton, who some say is arguably the best R Attorney General in the nation***
It is symptomatic of the disease that we are up against. The people of Texas gave control to the GOP; the GOP 'House' majority elected a GOP speaker. In turn the GOP Speaker issued every committee chairmanship to the Democrats. Paxton has some baggage, to be sure; but the media reports endorsing his impeachment focused on his alleged extra marital affair, not much on any law breaking. That speaks volumes.
It looks sort of like McCarthy, Paul Ryan, John Boehner - etc. The Republican Party is reverting back into the Whigs - and the result could well be the same: civil war. While McCarthy is betraying the GOP base in order 'to get along', the 'Rats are calling him a Republican terrorist demanding to have his own way.
What a beautiful picture. 😒
Re: The McCarthy Debt Deal:
MATT GAETZ...
“ If a majority of Republicans are against a piece of legislation, and you use Democrats to pass it, that would immediately be a black-letter violation of the deal we had with McCarthy,” Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) told Newsmax. “

Rep. Eli Crane, R-AZ, was livid in a phone appearance on WarRoom.
I’m given to understand that it was McCarthy who offered to close out all redress of the debt again, until January, 2025!
That move leaves even more trillions in spending unchecked, and also every spending increase that Biden demanded on certain give aways.
McCarthy had to use Hareem Jefferies to mick with the Rules to override Republican objections to end debt limiting discussion. McCarthy said he feared it might make us look bad in 2024.
Further, it is thouggt unlikely McCarthy can be vacated. The Democrats should be pleased to count on keeping him during any crunch times.
