Matt Gaetz sent a stern message to Kevin McCarthy while speaking at Turning Point USA’s SAS conference Tuesday.
Rep. Gaetz (R-Fla.) told the crowds that all Republican members of Congress know that Rep. McCarthy (R-Calif.), who is running to be the House majority speaker, believes in nothing except money and power.
Gaetz admitted while America’s laws and Republicans’ tactics should change, it is of the utmost importance that Republican leadership changes.
“Our laws and our tactics must change. But some of our leaders must be changed too. Our ancestors, out of love of country, pledged their lives and their fortunes and their sacred honor,” Gaetz began.
“Is the best Congress can really do today pledging a vote for Mitch McConnell or Kevin McCarthy,” Gaetz asked, to which the crowd responded with jeers.
“I’ve had enough Mc-failure. In football, when the team doesn’t win the games it’s supposed to win, they fire the coach. In business, when the company does not match its projected earnings then the board gets rid of the CEO. And, so in Republican politics maybe I’m not the crazy one if I say that the people who vastly underperformed expectations shouldn’t be promoted to third in line to the Presidency,” Gaetz continued.
The Florida rep. went on to say “every single Republican” knows McCarthy “believes in nothing except money and power.”
“I take no joy in sharing this with you but I’m going to tell you now what every single Republican member of Congress knows in their heart, whether they’ll admit it or not: Kevin McCarthy believes in nothing. I’m serious about that. Nothing except money and power, but he failed to deliver the power as promised,” Gaetz proclaimed.

Many look for it, some LUST for it.
He’s right of course. And it’s been very revealing how many so-called conservative commentators have been endorsing McCarthy.
Let’s also not forget McCarthy supported Liz Cheney keeping her House
Leadership Post…until she attacked McCarthy directly. Only then did
McCarthy support her removal.
But he NEVER removed her from Committee Assignments.
After the 2nd Failed Leadership vote on McCarthy, his goose will be cooked.
And having affairs with congresswomen like Renee Elmers, costing her the election in North Carolina.
Isn’t that part and parcel of every politician these days?
It was also a 'free' vote since it already had enough to pass. If his vote had been needed, you can bet he would have voted for it.
It wouldn’t shock me if we end up with speaker Jeffries. It’s what republicans want anyway. Why are they going through this circus. Next week is going to be a joke.
Are you a sucker? Ain’t gonna happen. After the 2nd failed vote for McCarthy
an alternative(s) will emerge. And it won’t be a Democrat.
The last alternative got 30 votes. Another 180 or so to go. I think you need some reality.
The same can be said of Democrats who continue to re-elect aholes like Pelosi, Schumer and Shiff for brains. Most voter (D or R) are clueless about the state of America because they get their news for the Lame Street Media or the alleged “Social Media” sites like Fakebook and Goolag. The Democrats are almost always in lock step when supporting their aganda but the Republicans always seem to have 4 or 5 prima donnas that have a hissy fits and derail their agenda.
Registered Dems have no brains. That's why they remain Democrats, and keep voting Democrat.
The reality will set in for you and McCarthy after the 2nd failed McCarthy Speaker vote.
I keep hearing where is the alternative?
It will appear on the 2nd failed Speaker Vote.
We will have a name for you then.
Good luck!
Why hasn’t your Buddy McCarthy released a statement concerning George Santos? He is House Minority leader NOW and wants to be Speaker and has
nothing to say? What kind of “Leader” is that.
Santos hopefully will not be sworn in. We can do better. Yes you worship him but you need to realize that he’s really a very blatant liar.
The Current Minority Leader in the House(McCarthy) is silent about Santos.
Not a single word or statement from the RINO who wants to be the leader
of the House.
Just as we can do better than Santos. We can do better than McCarthy.
Hopefully someone will step forward that we can all rally around.(Not Biggs).
