House GOP members are preparing a motion to expel Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., amid his renewed threat to pursue a motion to vacate House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

The House Republican members will seek to expel Gaetz if the ethics committee report comes back with findings of guilt, Fox News has learned. One member told Fox News the report is mostly written but does not know what it contains. Yet following threats to vacate McCarthy, the member said of Gaetz, "No one can stand him at this point. A smart guy without morals."

It takes a two-thirds vote to expel.

The House Ethics Committee has been investigating Gaetz since 2021 on allegations, including campaign finance violations as well as claims of taking bribes and using drugs – accusations the congressman has vehemently denied.

Those Bushites are still pissed the Texas Legislature didn't deliver what they wanted. That bunch is behind the shenanigans in Georgia too. They collude with democrats to stay in power.

Yup. The RINO wing of the uniparty is very busy.

Get Paxton in TX, get Colton Moore in Ga, get Gaetz in the House and get Trump!

On another site... the report said the ethics probe had been on hold pending the fed inquiry. Now that it’s done they can proceed. Nothing about new evidence.

McCarthy needs to go. He hasn’t kept a single promise he’s made.

A price for that must be paid.

Gaetz is a jerk and incorrigible team breaker.

Poison to any team, and he’s not even a producer. He never gathers a majority for anything. He can’t lead.

I have had it with everyone involved in this sordid charade. We are $33 TRILLION DOLLARS in debt, we are being invaded, we are being robbed blind by our “selected” representatives, the vote means NOTHING, and all I see here are squabbles amongst “principled peahens.”

We Are DOOMED if we do not fight back and now!
