BREAKING: Kevin McCarthy Removed As Speaker
Townhall ^ | 10/23 | Spencer Brown

Posted on 10/03/2023 1:56:35 PM PDT by spirited irish

Now-former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was stripped of his gavel on Tuesday afternoon via roll-call vote on Rep. Matt Gaetz's (R-FL) motion to vacate the chair, pursuant to rules agreed to by McCarthy in order to clinch victory in his drawn-out race to become speaker in January.

By a vote of 216 to 210, the historic motion prevailed as presiding Rep. Steve Womack (R-AR) declared "the resolution is adopted...the office of Speaker of the House of the United States House of Representatives is hereby declared vacant."

The Republicans joining Gaetz in his motion to vacate were Reps. Biggs (AZ), Buck (CO), Burchett (TN), Crane (AZ), Good (VA), Mace (SC), Rosendale (MT

No problem.

It’s amazing that many can’t see that

I wonder how many railing against Gaetz and supporting McCarthy, were patting McCarthy on the back when they found out he was sleeping at Luntz s house.

The deal is that Republicans actually represent the people who put them there and start lowering spending, taxes, infringements on freedoms. Stop funding the Ukraine war. Turn the oil patch back on in the shale fields and get the price of gas down.

It’s not advanced math. What you are seeing is that there are EXACTLY 8 PEOPLE in the House that are actually conserative.

The rest are ASSISTANT DEMOCRAT.

It can’t be that hard to understand. Simply cannot.

“””The deal is that Republicans actually represent the people who put them there and start lowering spending, taxes, infringements on freedoms. Stop funding the Ukraine war. Turn the oil patch back on in the shale fields and get the price of gas down.”””


You are so correct. Gaetz tore the curtain yesterday and exposed the GOP who does not represent the voters who elected them.

and the GOP is very mad. So we need to be on guard and watch closely as the GOP acts out their anger.

No offense intended. It’s just more than ever becoming important to counter the false narrative of the msm and online innuendo that covers up truth and reason.

I didn’t know the details either, until Matt had to rebut the mockery of the LA representatives because Matt was banished to speaking on the opposition side of the aisle.

A historic debate.😃

I don’t think that’s true. SS, Medicare, Mil all continue to get funded, just at previous bill’s rates.

So we should elect someone, well like Kevin McCarthy because he does
Not “Alienate” People. We had that. It didn’t work.
