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’s not going anywhere. He’s doing the work his constituents sent him to DC to do.

I thought McCarthy released the J6 tapes to Carlson, just before Fox fired Carlson. McCarthy did get a number or house budget bills in “regular order” before the timing of the debt ceiling issue interrupted the process. The necessary timing meant do nothing, ignore the debt ceiling issue, continue to pass “in regular order” House budget bills that would not get passed in the Senate, or get some stopgap measure (the 45 day extension) first and then in those 45 days go on to “regular order”. Gaetz is the pure and McCarthy the practical. Gaetz since then, by setting the House off with no speaker, has eliminated time in the 45 days to resume consideration of budget bills in “regular order”.

I’ve said it’s Jordan or nothing with me. At least I’m getting the latter. Thanks to the now Tight Ass 25, no new money can be spent. That $106 billion wanted for Ukraine and Israel can be drawn from unspent funds currently in the federal government…but that’s no fun lol.

My wife called Kay Granger’s office this morning. I told her to call Jake Ellzey’s office too.

Kay is 80, she needs to retire. A few more weeks of this, and we’re likely to see more retirement announcements…GOOD!

Of course without those 8, the RINOs have no majority and thus no power.

OOPS!

Remember when you RINOs sabotaged the red wave to prevent MAGA Republicans from winning a lot more seats they otherwise would have won? These are the consequences for you.

Idiots.

mFirst of all I could care less with a fixed poll!

So business as usual is OK? Continue backstabbing Conservatives because the moderates will be happy?

I refuse, as a CONSERVATIVE to get in the back of the bus while backstabbers are in the driver’s seat. I refuse to get up and give my seat to more rino’s. The CONSERVATIVES outnumber the “moderates” ITS TIME THE MODERATES MOVE TO THE BACK OF THE BUS!!!
“Gaetz is at 42% approval after the removal of McCarthy and before his inability to keep his mouth shut in the aftermath. I suspect he will be removed by the voters soon enough.”

_____________________________

It’s time to govern as Conservatives and WIN seats instead of turning the base away from the polls.

Those “moderates” you favor have done enough damage to the Republic! Time to send these backstabbers packing.

The RINO Derp State apparatchiks are causing this mess. Matt Gaetz did his job in removing a Demonrat puppet Speaker.

—” fighters like Gaetz”

Where is he fighting?

Like BLM, he tossed some gasoline and ran off.

Not long after the DOJ announced the dropping of the investigation against him taking his 17-year-old honey pot to the Bahamas. Very nice of them to drop charges against a conservative??? An unusual event.

Other than name-calling, how do you assist your cause?

THANK YOU!

This needs to be rubbed in the noses of everyone griping about Gaetz.

No plan though. We all know about the Rinos, he should’ve have seen this coming.

Surprisingly, there are people at FR that love them some RINOs, you know, the people helping the Democrats destroy this country.
