House GOP members seek to expel Gaetz amid renewed threat to vacate House Speaker McCarthy

House GOP members are preparing a motion to expel Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., amid his renewed threat to pursue a motion to vacate House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

The House Republican members will seek to expel Gaetz if the ethics committee report comes back with findings of guilt, Fox News has learned. One member told Fox News the report is mostly written but does not know what it contains. Yet following threats to vacate McCarthy, the member said of Gaetz, "No one can stand him at this point. A smart guy without morals."

It takes a two-thirds vote to expel.

...

The House Ethics Committee has been investigating Gaetz since 2021 on allegations, including campaign finance violations as well as claims of taking bribes and using drugs – accusations the congressman has vehemently denied. Gaetz also denies allegations leaked from a Justice Department sex trafficking probe said to have involved an underage girl.

A Repub that tries to vote like he campaigned is worthy of expulsion, according to the GOPe.

So the spineless worthless Uniparty RINOs in the House want to remove one of the few members who actually cares about his country and puts forth great effort on its behalf. They are making it handy to identify them, just like cockroaches scurrying for cover when you flip the lights on. Primary them and JETTISON them, ASAP. This country is in such a mess due to their taking on the role of Assistant Dimmocraps, we need to excise them and their ability to further harm the country.

Well, I don't like McCarthy but this effort couldn't happen to a more deserving person.

Yes, because we loves our RINOs here at FR. Why exactly is Gaetz deserving of this? He's one of the few Republicans that seems to give a damn about anything. The GOP is an absolute dumpster fire right now, but it is because of people like McCarthy, not Gaetz.

“Gaetz Courting Democrats To Oust McCarthy As Speaker”

Nice, considering how compromised the RINOs are.

Thanks for the info!

Gaetz and a few others earn their pay; the rest of them take our money and more.

He’s the best Representative I have seen in my lifetime. I will gladly keep voting for him as long as he runs.

#ThankGodForGaetz

Don't just tell us the problem, give us a solution.

Who will take over for McCarthy?

Don’t know how all this will play out, but don’t forget the old saying “Don’t throw stones if you live in a glass house”.

At the level Gaetz is playing, he should expect return fire.

What we are seeing is the rat RINOs starting to unmask. Matt Gates is the catalyst.

I can’t help thinking if support Gaetz was more popular, there would be far more posts than seventy.

Matt, has been acting rather crazily lately. There are some things that just cannot be done and for him to parade around, all virtue signaling about his importance is off-putting.
I always liked the guy, BUT, his behavior has more of us than just me, thinking, this is just NUTS.
Maybe I’m not reading the writing on the wall correctly, but if Matt had wide support there would be 300 or more by now.

Good riddance to Gaetz but NOT good riddance to RINO McCarthy? Really? Tells us all we need to know about you.
Gaetz has taken the time to make his case. Pointed out over a period of time all the McCarthy betrayals.
Warned McCarthy that his Speakership was not popular but, was contingent upon certain conditions. Conditions McCarthy has repeatedly violated.
Gaetz could have called for McCarthy to be removed the day after he was made speaker. He did not. Instead, Gaetz made his points repeatedly over a period of time. Allowing McCarthy the opportunity to prove him wrong or, conversely the opportunity to prove Gaetz right.
McCarthy is a stone cold RINO. He needs to go. Period.

How about expelling Jamaal Bowman for obstructing The House by illegally pulling the fire alarm? Always pissing on themselves, never on a Dem no matter how well deserved.

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4186082/posts

“ In other words, it appears Bowman—who has been in Congress for nearly three years now and would understand all this about emergency doors and rushing to votes—pulled the fire alarm as part of a delay tactic to help buy the Democrats time.”

I live in GA. And I’m disgusted with Kemp and the whole bunch of them.. One state senator ask for a special session to investigate the judge giving Trump a rough time.. Kemp is with that judge.. They don’t like Trump
They took that state senator, Moore, out of his position.. Moore could use some help.

The antagony.. The heads of each state have gone full blown commie.. It’s felt.. We are not used to this.. To anyone reading this, you had best give Trump your support and pray they don’t cheat him out.
He has to be President.. For you to have the freedoms as in past years. The rest of them are hell bent on treating you as the hired hand.. And ask before you speak.
Yes.. They have plans to do all that.

Even many people who agree with what he says on paper, find him to be creepy and a showboat just trying to draw attention to himself.

If Matt made his points...I MISSED THEM.

I have NO IDEA WTH HE WANTS.

In my world, he has NOT made his case.
