This will expose every god damn last one of those traitorous RINO's.
RINOs voting for or against McCarthy? I can't keep up now with Trump continuing to endorse McCarthy
RINO's voting with Dems to keep him as speaker. They are all working together as the corrupt, traitorous uni-party. They are afraid to break from the pack of hyenas because they are all blackmailed and compromised.
But.. the dems are voting to oust him as speaker??
Just saw that! I'm shocked and delighted!!! I was wrong and I'm ok with that! Great news!
No matter if the Dems or Repubs or even Trump is for keeping McCarthy in or not, we know our position and the reasons why he should be OUT.
It PASSED! 216-210. Seat is vacated!
The R's are going to cave as always.
we shall see
It was definitely interesting to see what R's did cave. Amazed that Gaetz pulled that off.
They're going to stab him in the back because they've already decided to back McCarthy.
Just watch. This is going to prove liberals call the shots.
Trump got rid of Ryan. This goes nowhere without Trump in the White House.
216 vs 210. McCarthy is done! He has to go!
I don't think this is going to go how Gaetz thinks it will.
He admitted yesterday that this is an exercise to show the American people who really controls them, or words to that effect.
He thinks it will result in McCarthy remaining Speaker. And it will.
Wrong.
We gonna see how many Democrats support McRyanCarthy. None of them voted for him---optics---now Matt is going to show you what a uniparty is!
Mccarthy out!!!!
Any of the district of criminals republican flavor who stands up for McCarthy NEEDS TO BE FIRED by their constituents. Full stop.
It's over, hes out.
Well I'll be...
The new speaker of the house will be a Republican like Gaetz, right? Or else what's the point?
The GOP no votes were Gaetz, Eli Crane and Andy Biggs of Arizona, Ken Buck of Colorado, Victoria Spartz of Indiana, Matt Rosendale of Montana, Bob Good of Virginia, Nancy Mace of South Carolina, Tim Burchett of Tennessee, Cory Mills of Florida and Warren Davidson of Ohio.
House Democrats signaled ahead of the vote that they would not bail out McCarthy. I wonder why the left didn't bail him out when he was doing most of their bidding.
Hopefully Gaetz did his homework, or else he's gonna fry.
If Gaetz is actually being serious about this, then he should've made sure to get enough support to see it through, or else he learned nothing from what happened earlier this year.
It appears he did his homework.
Unfortunately, he kind of cheated by causing the Demonic Rats to agree with him.
Mathematically there was no other way.
But then this victory is tainted with Demonic Rats Filth.
MTG and Byron Donalds have said they won't remove McCarthy.
All I've seen Byron Donalds say is "Look, I'm gonna be honest. We did not get anything out of this continued resolution" and "I think [McCarthy] is in trouble. There has to be some level of strong leadership in our chamber, I'm just gonna be totally blunt. There are a lot of trust issues in our chamber right now, where people feel on both sides of our conference that everybody's not gonna hold hands and continue to do this work together."
Probably carrying out Trump's last known orders.
Bannon is totally anti-McCarthy. I think Trump has "publicly" supported McCarthy for other reasons. This is just more reveal of the Uniparty.
So removing him and reinstalling him serves what purpose? A new contract? To show people how weak the R’s are?
So say a senator had some blackmail on a house member or members and this senator passed away. Would that void that blackmail power?
It is in the back rooms where these few speak to each other and do this stuff. To a normal citizen they would say the Senate and House are not the same.
It is the first time for many things this last couple of years.
It all depends on how many Democrats will support McCarthy. If zero Democrats support him, then there is a real possibility McCarthy could be out.
I don't have any idea how this will play out. But I wouldn't just assume Matt will lose this.
Well done, Matt!
I think it’s theater. Extract a couple more promises from the Speaker.
So they did it. Now let's see what happens next. I wouldn't be shocked at all if Hakeem Jeffries gets the speaker spot, and what a humiliation that would be for the GOP. Might not be so bad in the long run. The GOP needs to die so that a real right wing party can gain traction.
