Is your memory so short that you don't remember the deal Gaetz and McCarthy made so McCarthy could be Speaker. Do you not remember McCarthy reneging on those promises? Do you not remember what the consequences would be if he did that?
Gaetz didn't do anything but keep his word. McCarthy did this to himself. He only has himself to blame for breaking his sworn promises.
McCarthy’s fault as well for going along with the ridiculous notion (in order to secure his election) that any member of the conference could, at any time, launch a motion to vacate the chair. That was not a good idea, under any circumstances. And now here we are in this hot mess.

Totally agree. Even my liberal Trump-is-the-devil sister agrees with this.
