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

I need to savor this moment.
I shall be drinking a glass of Southern Comfort egg nog with milk. It’s a decadent drink and one of my vices but I don’t care. Life is good.

I disagree with the timing but I agree McCarth deserved it. They had all year to prepare those budget bills and didn’t do it. He also made the mistake of sounding arrogant before the vote. Sort of like Bush saying See ya at the bill signing (on amnesty)

This is more bad than good because of the media spin. This helps Democrats IMHO, but no more than McCarthy back bending to the Democrats.

Gaetz: McCarthy made multiple contradictory promises
Macarthy is in the pocket of lobbyists (my paraphrase) and spreads the money around the house.
we need to stop the cycle of ongoing resolutions and pass a budget.

I agree. Gaetz couldn't have done this. But maybe someone used him as a front. Maybe it was smart. McCarthy was overconfident because he saw this idiot. He was misdirected away from the real plot.
I come to bury McCarthy, not to praise him.

McCarthy has only himself and his backstabbing of the base voters to blame.
