Newt was not “Kicked out” of his speaker position.
He resigned voluntarily, after Boehner, Paxon and Armey backed down from trying to vote him out. (Newt’s own words for why he resigned; (Shortly after he was re elected for his 11th term)
Gingrich made the announcement the day after being elected to an 11th term from his district. Commenting on his departure, Gingrich said, “I’m willing to lead, but I’m not willing to preside over people who are cannibals. My only fear would be that if I tried to stay, it would just overshadow whoever my successor is.”[79]
