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.

I KNOW...and that is so disappointing. He is like a crazy person screaming and stamping his feet...and he just looks desperate. Not professional.

We NEED calm, cool articulate reps to make our case.

Unfortunately, it turns out Matt is not one of them.

Seems Kemp is compromised and corrupted with the promise of:

HOLLYWOOD MONEY. Follow that trail and you might see a clearer picture.

Gaetz has guts and calls it as he sees it, which is more realistic than McCarthy’s lackluster stances.

Pelosi ran rings around McCarthy and the Republicans even when they were in power.

Time to strike back by putting some backbone into the GOP because we are just about out of it for a strong America.

The Red and Islamic buzzards are circling!!

everything I’ve seen about Gaetz is just simply unlikable.

You should look in a mirror.

I want to see Jim Jordan as speaker.

Problem is Jim Jordan doesn’t want to see Jim Jordan as speaker. And I’m not sure he’s as good as his reputation is. He has been dismal at best on the committee trying to bring down Biden and democrats. He often lets the democrats take over and get the media coverage.

Congressman Gaetz, meet Ken Paxton. The Uniparty circles the wagons once again to protect its own.

Yes.....but perhaps he will heed the call of his nation to service.

We need someone who is patterned after Tom DeLay as Speaker.

Re: 67 - you’re ‘gonna get crickets.

Because rightly or wrongly no one has the votes.

Gaetz is going to get stomped. Because he has no post-McCarthy plan.

And ignore burners who say shut the government down. I notice that a couple of them were very vocal in 2020 about getting their free cash when that train wreck of a free money bill passed and was signed into law.

They’ve been trying to slime him for years.

First it was claims that he was about to be indicted at any moment for taking an underage girl across state lines. The problem is they didn’t have any evidence for it. No such indictment was ever brought which is really saying something given how corrupt the DOJ is as we have all seen.

Now its RINOs in the House whining because he doesn’t support chief RINO McCarthy. They’ve got nothing other than their own butt-hurt.

Everything I’ve seen from you is that you are on the wrong side of EVERY. SINGLE. LAST. ISSUE.

So if you are against Gaetz, I’ll take that as a ringing endorsement of him.

Are you so gullible and naive that you let Fox and the SWAMP manipulate you so easily?

Paul Ryan sits on the Fox Board.
He and McCarthy have been allies for 20 years.

Both are RINO’s......Gaetz is a Radical Republican nut cutter.....RINO’s do not like their nuts cut by Radical Republicans.

The last chance we have short of blood is control of the purse.....do not fund our destruction....the House controls that.....McCarthy controls that.

He could shut the Imperial City down tomorrow....OR better, fund what is needed, starve the rest....but he does not even give it indigestion.....though not a full vampire, he is yet another “familiar” that feeds the hell spawned.

GAETZ & FREEDOM! To hell with decorum.

Not that I feel strongly about it.

You say you don’t like McCarthy. Gaetz Is the only Member who is willing to
either try to replace him or force him back to Regular order. And hold the line
on debt. I get it. You would rather have Gaetz expelled and keep Jamaal Bowman
as a sitting House Member, even though Bowman was caught on Camera obstructing a Congressional Vote.(The same law J6ers were charged with)
