Gingrich reacts to Greene’s motion to oust Speaker Johnson: Gaetz ‘unleashed the demons’

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) said Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) “unleashed the demons” when he spearheaded an effort last year to oust former Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) from his leadership post.

Gingrich was responding to a question from Fox host Laura Ingraham about why some House Republicans, including Reps. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) and Mike Gallagher (R-Wisc.), have been leaving Congress before the end of their terms.

Gingrich said that, in part, Gaetz’s effort last year ending McCarthy’s tenure as Speaker should not be downplayed and that, since then, the lower chamber has been a “disaster.”

MTG was opposed to removing McCarthy. I don’t understand what she’s doing.

Newt has alternated between despised idiot and welcome wise man since he orchestrated the Republican takeover of the house.

MTG won’t stop until she is Speaker and that will never happen.

“ MTG won’t stop until she is Speaker and that will never happen.”
**********************************************************

She’s simply try to insure that leadership “walks the walk” instead of MERELY talking the talk. For example, if you say you will always follow the Hastert rule (the speaker will not schedule a floor vote on any bill that does not have majority support within their party) ALWAYS FOLLOW IT. Props to MTG.

And I don’t give a crap about shutting the government down.

I’m not a grifter.
