McCarthy entered into an agreement with the GOP caucus which included a vacate the chair provision if McCarthy did not fulfill his end of the agreement. McCarthy chose not to.
How is Gaetz a "loose cannon"??
I guess “loose cannons” are people who refuse to enable GOP assistance to the democrat party.
He went against the vast majority of his caucus and accused the Speaker of the House of plotting against him without offering proof.
I suspect that he may well have been conspired against, by the Democrats. McCarthy, for his part, agreed to let the threshold for vacating his seat be one member. Reportedly, that was at the behest of Nancy Pelosi (when the Freedom Caucus raised the issue). Reportedly, she said she would “have his back.” Of course she didn’t.
What it boils down to is that I think both McCarthy and Gaetz were played by the Democrats. If I am right, then I think we need to choose our representatives more carefully than we have.
