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.

I don't think this will work, either.

If they were getting money from Sam Bankman-Fried, they should be removed from office.

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.

Wouldn't it be weird if these "representatives" could stop with their hurt feelings and self-service and do what the majority of their constituents want?

You know, their freakin' jobs.

Again Gaetz does not seem to really care about the consequences.

He claims some are not voting for Jordan because he, Gaetz and 7 others voted against McCarthy. Well was not his vote against McCarthy a reaction to him and others not getting someone else instead of McCarthy to begin with. To me his complaint is like a child’s.

The 25 RINO Children who voted against Jordan and the will of the people, should be primaried or petitions started to remove them from office.

If you ask them, they would say 'no, it was because McCarthy failed to live up to his promises when he was elected Speaker. He didn't release the J6 tapes, he didn't return to regular order for budgeting, and he went along with the Democrats in eliminating the debt ceiling allowing for unlimited spending.'

The majority of GOP wants Jordan. The majority of Republican voters want Jordan. The current leadership has been a disaster for our country and the GOP.

Maybe you should learn more and keep your mouth shut more.

The voters are overwhelmingly behind Jordan and against uniparty.

They are vehemently opposed to the 25 defying their constituents.

They are the obvious as nose on face problem.
