JUST IN: Rep. Matt Gaetz Files Ethics Complaint Against Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy After He Lashed Out and Sucker-Punched Rep. Tim Burchett

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), who led the charge on removing Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House, has filed an ethics complaint against McCarthy after he reportedly assaulted Rep. Tim Burchett.

As the Gateway Pundit previously reported, Andy Biggs of Arizona, Ken Buck of Colorado, Tim Burchett of Tennessee, Eli Crane of Arizona, Matt Gaetz of Florida, Bob Good of Virginia, Nancy Mace of South Carolina, and Matt Rosendale of Montana got fed up with McCarthy selling out to Democrats and decided America needed a new Speaker.

But McCarthy would not go quietly. Gaetz and Mace also revealed that McCarthy was working behind the scenes to derail any potential candidate for Speaker, including Jim Jordan, arguably the most popular Republican in Congress.

Now, drama in the House of Representatives today, as McCarthy apparently elbowed Congressman Burchett in the back with a “clean shot to the kidneys,” says Burchett. Burchett later told reporters, “He’s a bully with a $17 million security detail.”

This is just getting embarrassing.

It’s Burchett’s case to pursue, not Gaetz’s.

From what Burchett said subsequent to the incident, I think he would find it beneath him to pursue this matter.

I’ve got only one so I’m well aware! I stopped playing racquetball and squash.

Yes it does. And vice versa. I would say give both men a pair of gloves and let them fight, but this sort of long term enmity only drags the party down and wastes energy.
Trump needs to sit down with both men. Tell them to cut it out!
