Yup. I thought Gaetz was going to be clocked by Rogers. Then, McCarthy looked like he was going to bean Gaetz, too. Ah, the good ole days!

He won’t be removed and there is no one in his district who will run against him.

“I like Gaetz but he’s turning into John McCain with his antics on the House floor.”

I could not disagree more. Gaetz is forcing McCarthy to agree to a return to regular order and to have people of conviction on the rules committee.

Do you realize these 435 fools have not spent this amount of time in this chamber together since 2016!

Six-figure congressional salaries and don’t even show up. Gaetz has more fortitude in his pinky finger than the lot of the GOP on that floor!

Drunk.

Also, let him batter another congressman for not voting his way. That’s saving democracy right? I wish they let him hit Gaetz to see what the discussion would be later. I’m sure it would have been justified by the msm.

This country has been decimated for the last 4 days because we haven’t had a sitting Congress /sarc

What a bunch of self-important grifters

“Gaetz has more fortitude in his pinky finger than the lot of the GOP on that floor!”

Exactly.

I admire reps likes Crane and Rosendale (sp?) who refused to vote for KM because their constituents were totally opposed to him. I respect them more than the squishes whose constituents were opposed to KM, but they voted for him anyhow. My rep Burchett, for example.

I agree with you. Those panning Gaetz (and the others) are out of order as he has done a good and worthwhile job.

We will soon see the details..

Why are they getting s**t from certain posters?

He’s obviously a violent thug. After 20 years in Congress and even more in the state legislature, it’s time for his ass to be thrown out.

Boebert was sitting right there and would have slugged Rogers if he weren’t pulled away

I assume she boxes right-handed?

It won’t happen. He’s the rep for my district and people here just don’t care about that. It will barely make a ripple in the news and he’ll be re-elected.

Rogers pulled back by a hand over his mouth as if to restrain him physically and verbally. Watched it live on CSPAN.

He wasn’t anywhere near him. Gaetz was seated about 5 seats down that aisle and this fool came up all hot, lunged at Gaetz and was restrained by another member.

Gaetz has a sharp mouth, but this guy has a bad temper. RINOs are RAT light and don’t like their gravy train threatened.

No he isn’t. He is actually bringing back dialogue rather than just accepting it is “someone’s turn” McCain and Gaetz are nothing alike.

Too much FOX news?

According to the MSM, it was ... gasp! ... “TREACHERY”!!! They’ve been told that’s the Word Of The Day.

Why not, they need to earn the money that they steal. They want us fighting out here in the cheap seats. Ef ‘em.
