Gaetz says those voting against Jordan are trying to punish 8 conservatives who voted to remove McCarthy

lorida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz told reporters on Friday that he and other conservatives who voted to remove former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy have offered to face removal from the House Republican conference.

"If what people need is to see the 8 of us wrapped on the knuckles in order to get on to the business of governing" than we are open to consequences, Gaetz said, which includes removal from the conference.

Gaetz said he and the other conservatives would stay Republicans.

Gaetz and Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., argued that the Republican holdouts voting against Jordan are doing so to punish the group of conservatives that voted to ouster McCarthy.

“He blew his chance at ever becoming governor”

You mean Matt, no his aim is higher.

You really need to watch how Matt can work a room of younger people, Matt isn’t looking for you to vote for him, but your kids marty.

“fighters” with a plummeting approval rating.

I believe Congress has an approval rating of about 15%. Gaetz, with his supposed approval rating (says who?), looks pretty good.

Gaetz is attention seeking and probably realises he has gone too far with his stunts.

Why is Ken Buck in this list? He even voted against Jordan.

Gaetz is a strategic thinker. This move is a step on the path to exposing the payoffs the anti-Jordan crew accepted in exchange for their vote.

If disciplined by the House, each member would get time to respond from the well of the house. Gaetz knows media couldn’t resist covering it.

Many here would obligingly watch the ball at a ping pong match - and miss the game.

Looks as if an Alinskyite campaign, by RINOS and establishment types, to isolate and demonize/vituperate Gaetz and his recalcitrant colleagues, is wearing them down.

This sounds like an apology.

Apologies never seem to help in situations like this but rather seem only to accelerate the attacks.

Doing the same thing over and over and over and expecting different results is the text book definition of insanity

Here is how the game has been played in DC for over 2 decades now.. The US House GOP is told “oh you have to only pass bills that the Senate will vote for and the White House will sign”.

The result is the House GOP consistently passes hard Left Democrats Legislation to “get things done”. The Democrat get all the political benefits while the GOP gets all the blame from the voters. This game has got to stop being played by the GOP. This is a chance to do that.

This is a chance for the GOP to start actively using the power of the US House to say “You want something done Senate? You want something done White House? Here is what we passed. Either vote for it or reject it. We have done our job.”

You do realize there is zero information about where they got their data right? As far as anyone can tell, that the result of their polling their own website.

It’s not a Republican Congress or a Democrat Congress.
It’s a SNAFU Congress…

And a way to punish republican voters who are conservative. "You will do it our way, and you have no other option." 22 RINOs threatening to go with democrats if they don't get their way. They want the republican party to be a rubber stamp for the democrat agenda.

Remember when all the people cheering on Gaetz for removing McCarthy were so happy.

Here’s what “feelings” have given us.

An idiot for President.

Our nation is trillions of dollars in debt.

Our foreign policy is all about providing money to The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate.

We have one system of Justice for Democrats and a completely different system of justice for Republicans.

Our schools are breeding grounds for envy and hate.

Our government exists to serve the employees and not the citizens.

We have an invasion across our southern border with no concern from The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate.

Screw all these people and their feelings.
