“Matt Gaetz is frankly a vile person,” Representative Mike Lawler told CNN’s Manu Raju late Monday. “He’s not somebody who’s willing to work as a team. He stands up there, he grandstands, he lies directly to folks.”
*cue Democrats assisting in voting McCarthy back as Speaker, running Gaetz out on his ass*
Donald Trump has created this Republican party. The lowest of the low like Matt Gaetz are celebrated by right wing news.
And their little dog too?
> Gaetz may be headed for some form of consequences for his actions. Some members of the GOP were already weighing whether to expel Gaetz from Congress should the Ethics Committee find him guilty of sexual misconduct, illegal drug use, and other wrongdoings.
Doubtful. It’s more likely that they will make him Speaker. Anything they can do to not work with the Democrats.
…just like they’ve “dealt with” any issue that wasn’t taxing the rich I’ll bet.
This is hilarious. You can’t “deal with” anything without a speaker! They’ve accomplished nothing in months except barely keeping the nation funded.
…through a strongly-written email and Txweet.
The problem with Republicans is that they are always making “plans” to do something.
If the Republican party wants to sever ties with MAGA I’m here for it. It will be a shitshow and it’s what’s best for everybody.
We’ve all seen this show before. Republican politician does something horrible. Cue lots of whining and pearl-clutching by the other Repubs, with vows of justice and vengeance. <pause for news cycle to flip> Republicans find it within themselves to forgive the evildoer and welcome him back into the fold. Democracy dies a little more.
They’re going to have to. Those rules that a single member can call to remove the speaker is still in place, no matter who is voted next speaker.
This is the most concerning quote in the article…
>Representative Derrick Van Orden told Raju that he won’t support either of the new candidates for speaker “until we deal with the fact that we have people in our conference who could shut this House down on a whim again.”
It means we could be in for a long ride to a new Speaker, but he’s right to make a stand. If they don’t deal with the motion to vacate problem, this upheaval in the House is likely to happen again.
It’s gotta be tough having blackmail on a person but knowing that releasing it might expose the behaviors/realities of the entire party. I can’t remember that one guy, who accidentally started talking about all the hookers/drugs/orgies in the GOP, but they moved fast on him because his blackmail only connected to the party in an indirect way.
What replace him with another useless Republican shit head ?
If only there was some way they could have foreseen that allowing fringe lunatics to take over their party would have negative repercussions so they could have “dealt with it” earlier.
Don’t give a fuck what they’re “planning” I DO give a fuck when they actually follow through.
Great. Do Tubby next.
Meaning they will give them concessions and allow them to continue to metastasize like the cancer to our democracy that they are.
So the sex trafficker is the gatekeeper in the evangelical GQP? Wow, how the GQP has fallen
Like they “took care of” Santos? Really? with a 4 person margin they’re going to dump any members?
How easily can he be Cawthorned in his district?
No they won’t. Republicans don’t deal with anything anymore
Republicans Are Planning to “Make Deals With” Matt Gaetz and His Allies
Please run Gaetz through the mud and drive him out of Congress. Otherwise, I and every other sane Floridian will likely have to deal with him as governor after DeSantis’ term ends.
Yeah, right. Just like Santos.
Yeah. I remember what some of them said after 1/6… talk’s cheap
