Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) urges his fellow Republicans in the House to get rid of the rule that allows a single member to file a motion to vacate the chair, saying it makes the speaker's job "near impossible." He also says he hopes the Senate will move forward with regular order on remaining appropriations bills ahead of the mid-November government funding deadline.

“Gingrich was again harping that Gaetz needs to be removed from congress because in essence he sacked his own quarterback.”
I bet Newt thought that was a genius analogy.
Talk about an unhinged fury. Anyone else in his position would wait to see what develops. Does Newt think that the next Speaker will not measure up to McCarthy?
Gaetz is an extremely articulate speaker. Maybe Newt doesn’t like the competition and/or it opens memory wounds when he got his oown ass kicked out.
I’ll never listen to him again. He is over.
McConnell just awoke to the new Reality. Everyone who actually pays for government games is nauseated by “Business as usual.”
Mitch McConnell knows what day it is?
I think he should just shut up and sit down.
But I am remembering the story from earlier this week where he took all that money from Sam Punkman-Fried for never-Trumper candidates.
So maybe old Mitch should still shut up.
McConnell is as much the enemy as any Democrat.
McConnell seems not to understand that removal would not take place if the speaker has the necessary support. McCarthy lost his support.
The motion to vacate isn’t the issue. Support is the issue.
“Maybe Newt doesn’t like the competition”

bingo!
Newt is a legend in his own mind.
No way, keep the rule, add it to the senate as well.
..... Well .... If we would like to follow Biblical precedent check out Deuteronomy 19:15....
.
Deuteronomy 19:15
“One witness shall not rise against a man concerning any iniquity or any sin that he commits; by the mouth of two or three witnesses the matter shall be established.
Wasn’t that a Matt Gaetz deal in the beginning ?
Not your wheelhouse. Butt out McConnell.
McConnell abruptly changed his mind and said “keep the rule!” after Trump said he’d be willing to be Speaker...
I just feel better when he's not around.
Exactly my thought
Look for his commercial on climate change with Nancy...
Shut up Turtle you’re making a fool of yourself.
I just heard on Newsmax that the rule to vacant the Speakers chair by one single vote has always been that way until Pelosi changed it to a 100 or some ridiculous number.
I’ll bet newt and Nancy left some nasty stains on that couch
This tone Def fool just made it impossible for any Republican in the house to support its removal. Nobody likes you!
🔝🔝
The base hates this treasonous prick so they made him Senator Minority leader.
