We need that kind of attitude and energy in a speaker and in every conservative. Very impressive Gaetz.

The republicans are fighting each other while the democrats are running victory laps. We need a united front

Collin Rugg2 years ago

I don’t see Republicans ever uniting. It’s almost two separate parties.

Historic speech. Historic move. Who will the Republicans choose to replace Kevin McCarthy?

Collin Rugg2 years ago

The million dollar question. What I can guarantee is the coming weeks will be very eventful.

The Ukraine side deal was the last straw, that's what McCarthy gets for lying to caucus over budgets, debt ceiling, and planned omnibus. No more liars in leadership.

I’m very proud of Matt Gaetz for doing what he did today they needed to be accountability for Kevin McCarthy‘s ineptness and not living up to the agreement they put in place in January! I would maybe consider Elise Stefanik as speaker of the house as she would be center right and maybe be a compromise for both sides !

Today was historical 👏🏻

Bye McCarthy, maybe Zelenskyy has a job for him!

Remember when Incoming Attorney General Matt Gaetz called out the swamp to their face? "I take no lecture on asking patriotic Americans to weigh in and contribute to this fight from those who would grovel and bend knee for the lobbyists and special interests who own our leadership, who have hollowed out this town and have borrowed against the future of our future generations." I kid you not. We are about to witness the greatest period in American history. President Trump PICKED RIGHT. Mr. Matt Gaetz, you embody the same spirit that was in Thomas Jefferson. Congratulations.

We’re not trying to dictate terms. We represent our constituents. Kevin McCarthy has no ideology. He’s a vessel through which lobbyists and special interests operate. My team are the people in Florida who sent me here to fight for them.

Kevin McCarthy said the quiet part out loud: In his mind, the central quality of a candidate for Speaker of the House is what they will do for the lobbyists and special interests “across the street” from Congressional office buildings. What an off-putting and debasing way to evaluate leadership.

I will not be voting for Kevin McCarthy. I resent the extent to which he utilizes the lobbyists and special interests to dictate how political decisions, policy decisions, and leadership decisions are made. We have zero trust in him.

.Kevin McCarthy deserves all the criticism and more because it's his fault that we haven't considered individual appropriations bills up to this point - like he said we would in January. That's not a bug in the system. It's a feature. They want to jam us under the time pressure of the government running out of money and the fear of a shutdown so that the lobbyists and special interests who own Kevin McCarthy get to make the decisions.

.Vice President JD Vance: "One of the things that President Donald J. Trump has done very effectively, going back 10 years in his leadership with the Republican Party and the country ... as he said: 'I want people who fight for the good. I want people who can’t be bought by corporate lobbyists, who can’t be bought by Wall Street, who can’t be bought by special interests, who are going to go to Washington and fight for the people who actually elected them to those positions.'"

This will make you FURIOUS Matt Gaetz exposes how Lobbyists buy Congress - In the morning they hand them thousands of dollars IN CASH each to vote their way on legislation - They bypass campaign finance laws by “hiring people's otherwise unemployable family members” - “The number of spouses and children of members of Congress who become lobbyists is astonishing” - Lobbyists are in the halls of Congress daily, they “work the halls throughout the day with staff members who hope to one day become lobbyists” “Senator Richard Burr from North Carolina, his wife and son both became lobbyists and he was the chairman of the Intelligence committee — Do you think that they had special persuasion skills or was it their familial relationship that they were monetizing?”

JUST IN: Matt Gaetz calls Kevin McCarthy a “feature of the swamp” after reporter tells Gaetz that people think he is a narcissist. “It's the benefit of this country that we have a better Speaker of the House than Kevin McCarthy.” “Kevin McCarthy couldn't keep his word. He made an agreement in January regarding the way Washington would work, and he violated that agreement. We are $33 trillion in debt. We are facing $2.2 trillion annual deficits.” “We face a de-dollarization globally that will crush Americans working class Americans. Kevin McCarthy is a feature of the swamp. He has risen to power by collecting special interest money and redistributing that money in exchange for favors.”

Matt Gaetz says Kevin McCarthy gathered a group of Congressmen and flat-out told them: there are no aliens. His reasoning? If aliens were real, lobbyists would be swarming for federal cash, dumping campaign donations — and McCarthy would know exactly who they were. Pure Washington logic: if it can’t be monetized politically, it doesn’t exist 💰

Everyone has lobbyists looking out for THEIR interests. Government even has lobbyists looking out for “governments” interests. Someone needs to look out for the TAXPAYERS interests and protect the people actually funding the government itself.
