All it took was a single-page resolution for the congressman Matt Gaetz, a Republican from Florida, to set in motion a move unprecedented in Congressional history: the ousting of a House speaker.
On Tuesday, a handful of conservative rebels joined Gaetz in voting to depose Kevin McCarthy, the Republican speaker. By a vote of 216-210, the effort succeeded, plunging the Republican-controlled House once again into chaos and cementing Gaetz’s position as one of Capitol Hill’s chief antagonists.
“Florida Man. Built for Battle,” reads Gaetz’s bio on X, formerly Twitter.
Gaetz followed his father into politics more than two decades ago. After serving in the Florida statehouse, Gaetz was elected in 2016 to represent a ruby-red chunk of the Florida panhandle.
He’s been doing his job perfectly so far!
Maybe he is doing his job too perfectly fro Ilhan Omar?
Like a lion seeking someone to devour, Ilhan Omar licked her lips at Matt Gaetz today on the House floor. The bizarre clip tells you all you need to know about the battle to end Kevin McCarthy’s speakership:
The Dems think that this is a good move but they should reconsider their actions!
This historic action came just nine months after McCarthy won the gavel following an arduous process involving days of negotiation and 15 rounds of voting.
North Carolina Rep. Patrick McHenry has been named Speaker pro tempore until a new Speaker is elected.
Following the news of McCarthy’s removal, Congressman Troy Nehls took to Twitter to announce, “Kevin McCarthy will NOT be running again as Speaker. I nominate Donald J. Trump for Speaker of the House.”
