Rep. Gaetz to Newsmax: McCarthy Can Be Ousted for Using Dem Votes
Newsmax ^ | 5/30/23 | Eric Mack

Posted on 05/30/2023 3:41:52 PM PDT by CFW

The House could pass the debt-ceiling deal agreed to by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and President Joe Biden, but it might ultimately cost McCarthy his job if he has to have Democrat votes to do it, Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., warned Tuesday on Newsmax.

"The operative question there is whether or not the speaker can get to a majority of the majority," Gaetz told Tuesday's "The Chris Salcedo Show." "If a majority of Republicans are against a piece of legislation, and you use Democrats to pass it, that would immediately be a black-letter violation of the deal we had with McCarthy to allow his ascent to the speakership, and it would likely trigger an immediate motion to vacate.

"I think Speaker McCarthy knows that. That's why he's working hard to make sure that he gets 120, 150, 160 votes."

Ok that’s great and dandy BUT what about Wray? The American people should demand that bastard be thrown in jail! What the hell are they hiding? Biden’s criminal evidence? Yes…that’s what they’re hiding! It must be extremely bad and incriminating towards the veggie, his son, his family, and the DOJ, the FBI and the CIA! All of them are swamp animals. They are the protectors and guardians of the DemocRAT EVIL POS party to the core!

You mean Trump’s endorsed RINO, McCarthy might be expelled over the debt ceiling deal that Trump still has not commented upon?

Eric your RINO Stockholm syndrome is beyond all know such instances.

Are you on your knees all day?

Don’t kid yourselves. He’ll get more than enough GOP house members to go along, so that his speakership is in no jeopardy from a no contest vote.

Why people think the GOP isn’t part of the problem is beyond me.

The establishment is the establishment, they are not limited to a single party

What will happen if Kevin gets enough Dems to pass it—will he change parties? What does he think is going to come of all of this? He must have a Plan B for his future cuz he’s ticking off a lot of people.

Thank you for proving you cultists cannot REFUTE a single FACT that I post, but must resort to name-calling.

Don’t just talk about it. Do it for cripes sake. You don’t threaten, unless you are prepared to follow through.

Cake has been baked.

McCarthy can likely find 112 who feel their seat is “safe” enough to vote for this and still get re-elected in 2024.

Right now there is a lot of POSING going on.

And when it comes to posing NO Republican member is better than Gaetz.

Behind the scenes they’re deciding who the 112 will be.

And HOW much they’re going to RECEIVE for their yes vote.

Does ANYONE on this forum believe that the cake has not already been baked and this is NOT going to pass?

Professional wrestling is theater, not contest.

Same deal here.

Some Republican members of the Uniparty have to put on a show so when they go back to their home districts they can say we put up a mighty fight and did all we could but we didn’t have the votes to kill it.

And those who have voted Republican for their life times will accept that just like they have ALWAYS accepted surrender.

Those who vote Republican have ALWAYS been held hostage to voting for the lesser of two evils.

Not much really changes except the demise of Our Republic has never been nearer.

Why would he change what he said? He’s not a flip flop like some others. And.. Trump is never at a loss of words . He always has a remark or two.

“Those who vote Republican have ALWAYS been held hostage to voting for the lesser of two evils.”


I know that is true. We vote for Patriots and keep ending up with the surrender caucus! I’m going to be making note of who votes for the bill, though. Because they will be showing that no matter what they say in their campaign ads, they will vote for whatever is best for THEM, rather than what is best for this country.

I could have probably lived with the rest of the stuff in the bill, but unlimited debt ceiling for 18 months, along with the failure to cut those 87,000 new IRS agents (some good pretend outrage that was!), to me shows what a disastrous bill this is for our nation. Pretty much the final nail in the coffin.

DeSantis came out and condemned the deal that Trump-endorsed RINO McCarthy negotiated.

***********

When the little punk from Florida was in the House of Representatives he didn’t just endorse a Speaker of the House, he actually voted twice for the same guy.

The guy was Paul Ryan.

If McCarthy was the Speaker, he would’ve supported McCarthy. DeSantis does what he’s told and what people are telling him is stay away from economic & foreign policy issues and become the great “woke warrior.”

Being a woke warrior is much safer than taking on “The Money” that runs this country.

DeSantis isn’t going to be the nominee, he doesn’t have enough support. He has financial support but not voter support nation wide.

Exactly.

I’m surprised more people haven’t figured out how the establishment of the united states operates.

McCarthy is giving us at least another $4 Trillion of debt that our offspring can’t pay. This is plum evil & inexcusable.
