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. Gaetz also denies allegations leaked from a Justice Department sex trafficking probe said to have involved an underage girl.

He never gathers a majority for anything. He can’t lead.
How would one lead or gather a majority for a Conservative or, even, a Pro American worker/citizen when the majority is not interested in doing anything to help the country nor the citizens?
You make it sound as if the rest of the clowns in DC are all aboard the train to actually do what they campaigned on, keep their promises, try to do things for the US instead of taking care of their donors, special interests and insider trading.
All Gaetz wants is for McCarthy to do what he promised the people he would do. He hasn’t. So, instead of an Omnibus bill, they separated them. They still passed everything in that was in the Omnibus bill without any pushback. Biden and the Democrats got everything they wanted and then some
Money is still going to go to Ukraine.
Again, knowing all of that, what is Gaetz going to do when about 200 or so, of the 218 so-called “Republicans” in the House are actually assistant Democrats? Those 200 or so have lied and continue to lie to their constituents. They get nothing done. They don’t fight for anything. They go along to get along and thne beg for another chance. Which, sadly, they get because voters are too stupid to send them packing.
That is 100% McCarthy. He’s a petty vindictive tyrant. When he was in the State Assembly a local Bakersfield, CA radio talk show host - a single mother of three boys - said something critical of Kevin. He went to the radio station owners and threatened to go to their sponsors personally unless the woman was fired. So they fired her.
Fox News report ….. sniff…. I smell that POS Paul Ryan.
You believe this ethics BS?!? Surely to goodness you see through this tired old Uniparty method to silence any threat to them. It’s the same crap the Uniparty (D), with Uniparty (R) acquiesence, pulled on Devin Nunez, the same crap pulled on Gingrich when he got out of Uniparty control. The Uniparty needs a new trick to maintain DC discipline. Don’t make it so easy for them.
Jordan has made it clear several times he’s not interested in being Speaker.
Gaetz rightly or wrongly is going to get stomped.
I love it when a plan comes together. Everything is going great!
Reno has been a RINO POS infecting FR for years.
If he’s expelled, what happens? Is he removed from the House and goes back to Florida?
The House is allowed to override the wishes of the people in his district? The ones that sent him to DC to represent them.
Boy, I didn’t think 434 clowns in the House had the power to tell the people of Florida to pound sand when their guy didn’t do what the Establishment told him to do. Did he commit some sort of felony or something?
Best thing that could happen right now....Pres Trump holds a rally in his district.
DC already hates them both, might as well go over the top and give them all the finger.
Gaetz is a lawyer, right? How about Pres Trump saying something on the campaign trail that Gaetz might possibly make a great AG. Spasms and Seizures.
Yep.
F the GOP/Uniparty.
You take morals and ethics into account? ROFLMAO. Virtually every Congressmen/women is a whore on the take who destroyed your nation.
He appeared as a die hard Trump supporter very early on, as I recall.
Stupid perhaps, but more likely simply not able to see through the Uniparty shenanigans when it's time to throw these gutless and/or corrupt simps out on their asses.
That time is, of course, in primary elections. But the establishment always sees to it that:
1. The squishy incumbent is always *very* well-funded in order to fend off any challenges from the Right, and
2. There are almost always MULTIPLE "conservative" challengers, which split the conservative vote and allow the liberal incumbent to prevail. If there is only one viable conservative, the GOPe will fabricate some more COPOs (Conservative On Paper Only) to muddy the waters. Then they make sure those astroturf-conservatives have enough funding to take away sufficient votes from the true conservative in the race.
On occasion that strategy fails, but it's a rare day when it does; it happened perhaps once in 2022 (South Carolina's 7th district). Often, the challengers are just pissants (however conservative and well-intentioned they may be) with no funding anyway, so no phony candidates are necessary -- e.g. Texas' 2nd district in 2022, where Eyepatch McCain prevailed easily in the primary due to an astronomical $$$$ advantage:

You make some decent points. But, it all goes back to one thing....Stupid Voters.
If campaign money and campaign ads are still what wins elections, then not one person that voted for EyePatch McCain should ever open their mouths about how bad things are. Literally, EVERYTHING is available to EVERYONE on their iPhone. So much information at their fingertips that they couldn’t read it all.
So, in this day and age, it ain’t about money. It’s about laziness. But, it’s still about “the devil they know”.
As for money, power and status....A trucker in South Jersey took down one of the most “powerful” members of the NJ State Senate with less than $2000.

Gates has two advantages, personal wealth and he doesn’t care about liberal elite approval.
(Actually the second follows from the first, since the wealthy like Gaetz and Trump don’t need donor financial “assistance” to get rich).
Jordan is Swamp. (Big Tech frontman)
“Gaetz is demanding action to match the promises.
yea, he’s a loose cannon. a complete radical.”
Expelling a guy for demanding they do what they said is the epitome of the GOPe.
You are always in the wrong side of things. Why is that?
