I know nothing about McCarthy or Gaetz.
What I don’t get is what is the compelling reason mcCarthy was ousted.
He broke his word to the Republicans in the house and made deals with Biden in secret. All the promises he made as conditions for being elected as SOTH were broken.
This is Matt Gaetz’ statement listing the reasons for removing McCarthy from the position of SOTH

“ What I don’t get is what is the compelling reason mcCarthy was ousted.”
Maybe breaking every single promise he made to get the job had something to do with it.

See post #30.
McCarthy was the best Republican Speaker we’ve had in decades. But that’s not saying much. McCarthy got about as much done as is possible, playing by Establishment rules. And that’s the problem.
Sure, there are limits to what he could do as Speaker when the Democrats still control the senate and the presidency. But his acceptance of the GOPe position that shutdowns are unacceptable was a major shortcoming of his. I understand the challenge of keeping together a coalition when maybe about 1/3 of your caucus are dyed in the wool RINOs, but maybe it’s time for a shift in the balance of power.
MAGA conservatives have been the jr. partner in the Republican coalition - not among the voters but among their representatives. That has to be challenged at some point. Now’s as good a time as any. I don’t expect an Andy Biggs or a MTG to become the next Speaker but if we can get someone a little more to the right of McCarthy, then that will be a step in the right direction.
If a shake up is going to happen, now’s the time. We still over a year till the election so, by then the dust will have had time to settle.
good question, Jim
