Rep. McGovern: "January 6 was an attack on our democracy, and now Tucker Carlson has chosen to side with the enemies of democracy. But what's most alarming about all this was that he was aided and abetted by Republican Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy ... this is a new low."

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.”

Are the Republicans who voted to oust Speaker Kevin McCarthy "traitors?" Newt Gingrich, on Fox News says: "96% of Republicans voted for McCarthy. 4% voted against him. From my position as a longtime republican activist, they are traitors. All eight of them should, in fact, be primaried. They should all be driven out of public life. What they did was go to the other team to cause utter chaos." Is he right, or is he just part of the problem.

President Trump welcomed Erika Kirk to his State of the Union address, the wife of the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk. “In Charlie's memory, we must all come together to reaffirm that America is one nation under God, and we must totally reject political violence of any kind,” Trump says.

.Kevin McCarthy is going to get his wish. I’m going to file a motion to vacate against him this week. If at this time next week Kevin McCarthy is still Speaker of the House, it will be because the Democrats bailed him out. He can be their Speaker, not mine.

Casar: "We are in the biggest free speech crisis this country has faced since the McCarthy era. The murder of Charlie Kirk was a horrific crime, and it's clear that Trump wants to hijack that horrific crime to silence anyone who disagrees with the president about any issue."

Politico columnist Rachael Bade speaks right to the heart of why Charlie Kirk was so special. "Just think about what kind of person it takes to go into college campuses, which we all know are...a breeding ground of progressive thinking, liberal thinking, to be a conservative, somebody who's very out there, evangelical Christian, and to proclaim the types of things that he is saying on college campuses that are not popular with a lot of young people. And he did that. He did it successfully, and he was able to garner a movement.”

“I protested outside the BBC because Charlie Kirk was NOT far right - he was a moderate conservative who genuinely cared about the people he disagreed with.” “Imagine never setting foot in the UK, being told you have to pay for a state broadcaster and that you’ll go to JAIL if you don’t. You’d think we were in North Korea!” Kevin O'Sullivan | @YoungBobTPUK

Absolutely ghoulish behavior from CBS Mornings' Nate Burleson. A conservative activist gets assassinated and Burleson asks former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R) if it's time for "your party to reflect on political violence, is it a moment for us to think about the responsibility of our political leaders and their voices and what it does to the masses as they get lost in misinformation or disinformation that turns in and spills in to political violence?"

Charlie Kirk talks about his friend Candace Owens and how he was instantly blown away by her powerful speaking ability. “Candace is the best” Charlie talks about the first time he met Candace and immediately offered her a job after hearing her speak: “I basically said if we work together for a couple years you’re gonna be the biggest thing in the conservative movement. I’ve never seen talent like this.”

Good to remember.. Charlie Kirk: “You know that you are part of the most exciting, diverse, powerful movement in the history of this country. And this movement is not about Republican or Democrat. This movement is not about Conservative or Liberal. This movement is about the citizens versus the oligarchs. This movement is about We The People versus the ruling class. This movement is about America versus the globalist. This movement is about all of us against them.” Never forget what they took from us 🙏🏼

🚨BREAKING: Matt Gaetz Moves to Remove Kevin McCarthy as Speaker McCarthy worked with the Democrats over the weekend to pass a vote to prevent a government shutdown. This bipartisanship triggered Gaetz to stand on the house floor today, officially calling for the process to remove him. Now McCarthy, facing a challenge that only two other House Speakers have faced IN HISTORY, must call a vote within two days to see if he has to vacate his seat. I can't believe an act of bipartisanship triggered this vote. We NEED government officials on BOTH SIDES working together to solve the country's problems. Politicians need to learn to put country over party. Do you think McCarthy should be voted out?

Kevin McCarthy says that Matt Gartz should be voted out of office and prosecuted: “You can’t sleep with underage women and think you can get away with it.” Also Kevin McCarthy: we must elect Trump for president—an adjudicated rapist who was credibly accused of rape and sexual assault by 26 women. A man who bragged on tape how he assaulted women. McCarthy doesn't really care about sexual assault. He is just trying to get revenge on Matt Gaetz for voting to remove him from Speakership.

⚜️👏🇨🇦🤡 : CPC MP Gabriel Hardy gets a standing ovation from Conservative MPs after he says Liberals don't respect the Québécois nation. 🌹 This is the same Conservative party that opposes Alberta independence. ⚜️ This is the same Conservative party that recognized Quebec as a Nation inside Canada, on November 22, 2006. 🦅 From First Nations to the Québécois nation, we keep being reminded, we are not an equal society, by all Federal parties. No wonder why so many in Alberta are fed up. I am too. 🤡 Canada is becoming a gong show of hypocrisy.
