Agreed. Gaetz is in a safe GOP district (FL panhandle). His replacement would be a conservative Republican. It seems obvious he ousted McCarthy because McCarthy wouldn’t run interference for him with the Ethics Committee. For all the Gaetz fan club members here, just remember when the time came to pick a candidate in the 2016 nominating contest , Gaetz got behind that arch conservative - Jeb Bush!
