"I dare you to remove me" says guy who barely got enough votes to get the position in the first place
That's true, but that doesn't mean it's a bad move. Removing their Speaker would delay certain things on their agenda, and they know this.
The infighting within the Republican Party has been fascinating to watch. From not being able to pick a speaker to now the far right holding his position hostage.
It’s funny how McCarthy out played Gaetz by announcing the impeachment inquiry right before Gaetz’s speech. It felt like it took the winds out of his sails as you could see he had to adjust what he had rehearsed.
I hope the speaker sees how out of touch and damaging to Republicans the impeachment would be and he’s posturing but you never know with these people.
Any chance you have a clip of Gaetz being blue balled?
inserts any clip of Gaetz
I’ll chip in a dollar to get rid of this cunt.
Careful what you wish for. This could be MTG’s way back into the spotlight and into the Freedumb Caucus.
When the options are "a useless Speaker" and "an actively damaging Speaker," I'll choose the former.
I’m with you on that!
