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 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.”
What, exactly, is McCarthy doing that you like so much?
exactly
NO to Newt. Tired of Newt and the old guard.
STFU, NEWTIE.
Newt...go home and see if you can make your wife’s hair move for once...
argue the substance of what he is saying. I’ll wait...
And just like that....Newt Gingrich becomes history.
Ask Newt why all of the promises Kevin made to become speaker were all broken? Ask Newt why this speaker took his Congress on a two month vacation then claimed he was up against another deadline with the budget? This speaker is not performing as he promised!
Seems like Newt has always been a member of the Uni Party.
Trump is so right! We NEVER FIGHT THE EVIL DEMOCRATS..ONLY EACH OTHER! BEYOND PSTUPID!
RINO.
“...attacked the Florida Republican as “anti-Republican”...”
Goetz is calling for reduced spending, reducing the $34 trillion dollar national debt, and a balanced budget.
Is that “anti-Republican??? That along with limited government and you have the essentials on why am a Republican!!!
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH,......WE CANNOT GO ON SPENDING LIKE THIS AND BENDING TO THE TOTALLY EVIL DEMOCRATS
Hey Newt, did Rove tell you to say that while you all were in the Turkish bathhouse?
This makes me believe that the inhouse fighting between the Republicans MAY work against us.. sigh.
And I was all for Matt doing this before I realized this...sigh.
Is Matt a wolf in sheep’s clothing?
He’s wrong about this.
(apologies to those who are offended by this).
More like "reach around".
Agreed! He would rather hold hands with Nancy than cut spending.
