Gingrich says House GOP should expel ‘anti-Republican’ Gaetz
The Hill ^ | 10/03/2023 | SARAH FORTINSKY

Posted on 10/03/2023 11:37:57 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

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.

Gaetz isn’t destroying the Repukes ability to govern. He’s reacting to it. We’ve had some fun “investigations” but nothing has actually been done by the Repukes. If there is no speaker and nothing can get done that’s a spectacular improvement. No one, NO ONE is speaking to the substance of what Gaetz is saying and that tells me everything.

Indeed, we must ask ourselves- can’t we all just get along and fight the Democrats?

Because Gingrich and crew prefer to eat the crumbs that fall from the commie's table.

“I second Gingrich here. Gaetz is nothing, but trouble. “


Name one thing (action, not talk or “hearings”) that is different from when the Dems had the majority ?

When the people we elected actually begin fighting the Democrats instead of rolling over and wiggling their arms and legs in the air, I will be all on board with it.

The ease of answers that Gaetz gives about this talking in interviews tells me that he’s not lying and the substance of what he’s saying has merit. I’m waiting for someone to attack the Substance of what he’s saying and not attack his “ethics violations” or his “personal attacks” etc.

The House GOP is doing everything in its power to prop up Biden. It never had an “ability to govern”, it’s there for graft and payola only. At least if the Republican Party is delivered a death-blow we will be half way to correcting the real problem: the two political parties that own the system and by extension the rest of the country and we who are its peasants and slaves.

Mark is wrong. You can tell because of the way they’re attacking him. No one is going after the substance of what he’s saying. Exactly why can’t they have individual appropriation bills? Exactly why do they need to pass 45 day CRs, Was there indeed an agreement between him (his group) and McCarthy. Someone address the substance...

Brilliant observation. They won’t stand up for themselves, let alone us.

I’ve had enough of “conservatives”.

Conservatives, conserving nothing since 1989.

I’m a little perplexed. Maria Bartiromo and Levin, both of who’s opinions I respect, are totally against Gaetz on this. And to me, every time I see Gaetz, there is something off-putting about him. I despise McCarthy; I think he’s a snake, and should never have been appointed Speaker, but something just doesn’t feel right here.

What they are “conserving” now is overwhelming Progressive victories.

And they are happy to do it.

For all those defenders here of mccarthys failures, please don’t continue to complain about the lack of politicians honesty. or the failures of this country. or the open borders. or the deficit. or the nation’s cultural rot. or the drugs flowing across the OPEN BORDER.

The leverage of the purse comes with great power. But it also requires a backbone to enforce it. Thankfully we at least have a handful that recognize this.

McCarthy is a Democrat Assistant, not a Republican.
