At this point in time, I support Gaetz.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) on Tuesday called on House Republicans to expel Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) and defeat his motion to oust Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) from his post.
In a scathing op-ed published in The Washington Post, Gingrich attacked the Florida Republican as “anti-Republican” and said Gaetz was engaging in “childish behavior” and “has become actively destructive to the conservative movement. “Gaetz’s motion to remove McCarthy should be swiftly defeated, and then he should be expelled from the House Republican Conference. House Republicans have far more important things to do than entertain one member’s ego,” Gingrich wrote.
“Gaetz has gone beyond regular drama. He is destroying the House GOP’s ability to govern and draw a sharp contrast with the policy disasters of the Biden administration,” he wrote.

I’m anti-Republican too, Newt. Should I be eviscerated? There’s a big difference between being a Republican, and being a Conservative Republican. The two don’t mix in today’s GOPe.
Newt Scozzafava Gingrich.
Leave my Matty alone!
He’s the future of the party.
Agree. McCarthy made promises in order to gain the speakership. He deviated from that...this is the consequence.
That is a very powerful state from President Trump. Indeed, we must ask ourselves- can’t we all just get along and fight the Democrats?
Still remember Newt sitting on a couch with Pelosi.
Go away Newt... You had your time.

Once again, we find ourselves at an impasse when a handful of true Conservatives attempt to actually honor their pledges as well as the gop platform. And once again 209 moderates stand in the breach of resolve.
I second Gingrich here. Gaetz is nothing, but trouble. I guess he is getting good money from the press and does not care about us anymore.
I’ve had enough of “conservatives”. Bring on a new speaker
once again 209 centrists snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
cuz the status quo is great
mccarthy needs to honor his agreement
“Indeed, we must ask ourselves - can’t we all just get along and fight the Democrats?”
You haven’t been reading Free Republic posts lately, have you
Newt has lost it.
mccarthys defenders in Congress state McCarthy has earned his speakership. Can anyone explain how he’s earned it?
WHAT?
Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.What does “centrist” mean at this point?

Gaetz is either going to hand the Democrats the speaker gavel now, or hand them the majority next year. This kind of childish silliness is what makes people think Republicans can’t handle leading.
Fact 1) Democrats control the Senate
Fact 2) Democrats control the White House
Gaetz can huff and puff and stomp his feet, but fiscal responsibility isn’t coming back as long as facts 1 & 2 are true. Deal with reality, not dreams.
Newt has a solid polling organization and knows what people want to hear right now. Gaetz wants to hear himself talk and loves being in the spotlight, but he can’t lead.
Repeatedly.
