As Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) launches his rebellion against House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), multiple reports indicate that House Republicans are looking to get rid of the Florida congressman altogether.
According to a report from CNN, an unnamed House Republican said that the caucus wants Gaetz gone — and that they may use the findings from the ongoing Ethics Committee investigation into the Florida congressman to oust him.
It’s not that he diddles kids, or drives drunk that that don’t like. Those they are fine with. It’s that he dared to question their authority where they draw the line.
When Matt Gaetz was fucking kids, they cheered, but when he tried to fuck an old man, that’s taking it too far!
Slow clap
I know this is probably BS, but part of me really hopes this is the opening salvo in a Republican civil war that shreds their party to pieces.
I would settle for “pares away the far-right extremists and starts trying to achieve bipartisan goals” at this point. Only if the Progressive Dems can hold and drag the “center” leftwards to the actual center again.

I mean that’s ultimately how we get here, but they all folded like wet paper once it looked like he was going to win. It’s hard to call a bunch of grumbling an “opening salvo”. Certainly one of the earliest cracks in their unity though.

Unfortunately not a civil war but rather yet another move to eradicate anyone not extreme enough for them.
How is Gaetz not extreme enough? Do you honestly think he’s anything but on the far right?
McCarthy wasn’t extreme enough was what I meant
Someone’s going to leak a video of Gaetz that they’ve been holding back.
I think the Bobo handjob video was organic, but I’m sure they have material on her as well.
Watching them try and use an Ethics Report is gonna be fucking funny.
A house divided will fall. Might as well get it started with this greasy turd.
I ain’t buying that shit
