  1. Republicans are finally turning against the far-right representative after he ousted Kevin McCarthy.

  2. Nothing will force him to resign. He has no shame whatsoever.

  3. I believe it’s colloquially known as “getting Cawthorned.”

  4. Let’s hope he has some good dirt on them. Let the cannibalfest begin!

    Let’s be clear: There is no rehabilitating a party who stood by for four years of the Trump “presidency” and said: “This is fine”.

    If Trump’s festival of corruption wasn’t an absolutely unegociable red line for you, you absolutely don’t deserve to be in office. That would be 99% of the party.

  5. I’ve seen people claim he’s taken the title of Most Hated in Congress. I doubt that. He may be the one most are angry with right now, but I’m sure there are a few others more hated than him.

  6. ““Matt Gaetz, to say he came here as a fiscal crusader, it’s more likely he came here for the teenage interns on Capitol Hill, to be honest,” Short said Wednesday night on CNN. ”

    Delicious Roast

  7. …instead of working with the FBI to prosecute him for his crimes? yeah – they don’t give a fuck. They’re complicit.

  8. A cardinal sin in the modern GOP is being perceived as contributing to subvert the social hierarchy that facilitates aristocratic domination and torment of relative subordinates. It doesn’t matter if you’re even a criminal as long as you yourself are high enough up on the hierarchy. But the mere perception of subverting the hierarchy itself constitutes betrayal.

  9. The MAGA/GOP is not stepping back too far. Just regrouping.

  10. Man, this is as satisfying as watching Ramsey Bolton’s dogs eat him.

  11. Let’s hear more about that shady boat purchase where a large amount of money went missing.

  12. Just my opinion, but it makes them look just as bad for knowing and not doing anything earlier. Like people mock “Gym” Jordan, they need to be calling out everybody who’s now just casually admitting they knew what Gaetz was doing and ignored it.

  13. Good. As a Florida resident I hope that this cuts off his governor plans.

  14. Republican voters:

    Your leaders knew this for years and are just saying it now. They are the bad guys too.

  15. Fantastic!

    Do Gym Jordan next, please.

    Burn the whole GOP house of cards to the ground.

  16. It’s funny. This is all stuff they’ve known about Gaetz. They’re not even pretending otherwise. But… oh but now that he made you mad, now that he upset the party… oh NOOOOW he’s a piece of shit and everybody needs to know it.

    All these outrages they’re airing out… they were all 100% a-ok with all of it, so long as Gaetz kept playing ball.

  17. No more, we’re a family. Trump got cover with that by Paul Ryan and now it’s ended. This party is free to fracture and tear itself apart. Unfortunately they have positioned themselves to be part of running the country.

  18. they can’t get rid of him. Republicans party the Trump party is the party of chaos

  19. Gaetz doesn’t care. It was an audition for one man.

  20. Someone has the dirt on the whole Nestor situation

  21. So till today they were fine protecting this sexual groomer of children? Doesn’t that shoot a pretty big hole in their anti-trans rhetoric? (Lots of holes in that one for sure)

  22. Let ’em fight.

    Their wiping each other out politically is a risk I’m willing to take /s

  23. Nice of them to cover up all his crimes until be became a problem. Fuck the Republican Party.

  24. You know, if they have that much dirt than perhaps they should expel him from the house?

  25. Of course they are, just like Cawthorne. They’re fine with him until he doesn’t play ball, then they use the very things they ignored publicly to rally against them.

    Cawthorne and Gaetz are both terrible people, which means the people they’re up against in the GOP must be horrendous.
