Matt Gaetz Suggests Vacating the Chair of the Speaker of the House (video)
Truth Social ^ | 9/12/23 | Matt Gaetz

Posted on 09/12/2023 10:06:35 AM PDT by cotton1706

I rise today to serve notice. Mr. Speaker, you are out of compliance with the agreement that allowed you to assume this role. The path forward for the House of Representatives is to either bring you into immediate total compliance or remove you, pursuant to a motion to vacate the chair.

I know that Washington isn’t a town where people are known for keeping their word. Speaker McCarthy, I’m here to hold you to yours.

Was this before or after McCarthy “ordered” the committee to open an impeachment inquiry?

“What did he promise to do that he didn’t do?”

Gaetz says in the video.

Individual bills, releasing the J6 tapes, etc.

Very well said. Would love to hear a rebuttal. We need a bomb thrower speaker who is ready to be blamed for everything and who relishes the thought.

I generally like Gaetz, but unfortunately he doesn’t have more than a handful of votes for an alternative to McCarthy.

Matt Gaetz is absolutely correct, This BS cannot be allowed to continue. If it does, the people will erupt into total anarchy, because as we have seen there is already enough evidence of that happening with the smash & grab robberies that occur in broad daylight, and the criminals actions are ignored. But they can chase down & find those who entered the Capitol Building on J6.

If will only continue to accelerate if responsible governance does not replace the reckless governance both parties are currently practicing.

I'm behind you 150% Matt Gaetz. 👍

He could get all the democrats to vote with him for Hakeem Jeffries.

Did Gaetz vote for McCarthy? No he didn’t. He and five others voted present on the 15th ballot. Their voting present on this ballot enabled the other Republicans to elect McCarthy. In contrast, every Democrat on every ballot - except one ballot in which one Democrat was absent - voted against.

McCarthy has the challenge of getting things done with a razor thin majority and with a half dozen members or so of the Republican caucus who are willing to vote against bills that aren’t good enough from their perspective; and, an opposition party that is 100 percent united.
