Now-former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was stripped of his gavel on Tuesday afternoon via roll-call vote on Rep. Matt Gaetz's (R-FL) motion to vacate the chair, pursuant to rules agreed to by McCarthy in order to clinch victory in his drawn-out race to become speaker in January.
By a vote of 216 to 210, the historic motion prevailed as presiding Rep. Steve Womack (R-AR) declared "the resolution is adopted...the office of Speaker of the House of the United States House of Representatives is hereby declared vacant."
The Republicans joining Gaetz in his motion to vacate were Reps. Biggs (AZ), Buck (CO), Burchett (TN), Crane (AZ), Good (VA), Mace (SC), Rosendale (MT

She was on The View the other day, and that odious Caryn Johnson stuck some ginger in her discussing infanticide.
Gaitz said the other day he had the votes, that McCarthy’s only move was to appeal to his friends on the other side of the aisle.
Dhims are as trustworthy as vipers, he got throwed under the bus.
“Nominate Trump”
Goetz spoke of doing that quite awhile ago but that was then and this is now. Do it before removing Biden-Harris and BOOM!...MAGA is back!
Come on! No loss...Liar, rino and OWNED BY THE DEMOCRATS!
So fun to see all the GOPe ppl come out of the woodwork
Mea culpa.
Kevin made a deal for the Speaker’s job ... and broke it. Kevin (arrogantly IMO) said “bring it” & Gaetz did. Being ousted is totally self-inflicted. Gaetz is taking the heat for holding Kevin ACCOUNTABLE, something that rarely happens in government, but it has to start somewhere.
The same shitty performance by Congressional Republicans that's been in place for at least the past 50 years.
Probably not. I am waiting to hear who the brains of this was.
As Chris Plante offer said, He is a speaker who can’t speak…
Someone brung it. Hopefully we will find out who. Wasn’t Gaetz.
Whatever. The Republic is in disarray.
Now McCarthy can’t protect President Retard
Good riddance first speaker I history to get a butt up his butt he deserves it
Squishes are not shy posters. I’ll give them that. No shame what so ever.
Sometimes disarray is necessary.
Byron Donalds would be my choice for new Speaker. He has a brilliant financial background, and has the respect of all the GOP House members. Doesn’t hurt that he is black.
thing is the uninformed, clueless and fence walkers will swallow whatever the media spews. Looking at the long game here.
Sure, McCarthy sucked donkey balls, but will the coming weeks of negative media really worth this political execution of one of your own?
I wonder if Gaetz is on Trump’s VEEP short list? Who knows.

So somebody else had the knife???
