They're giving the impression that they're out for blood. Now if they punish Gaetz, I'll believe that.
Gaetz has been reported to be willing to go the whole route. We'll see. In response, there's threats to expel Gaetz. That would require a 2/3rds vote in the House to expel him completely, or a vote by the GOP to expel him from the Party and such.
Politico said that Gaetz approached some Dems for the possibility of removing McCarthy, now they are going to try to use that to expel him. It seems that there ought to be some accountability for McCarthy violating rules himself. As for the Democrats talking to Gaetz, the Politico article also said that it was a private meeting with the Democrat who talked to Politico---meaning the Democrats revealed this for the purpose of causing trouble within the GOP caucus. But you'd expect betrayal from the Dems. What about the GOP? Sadly, they do it too.
There's a lot of talk that frankly surprises me. You learn something new all the time. It doesn't seem anti-Republican to me to remove a Speaker when he violates an agreement made in order to get the gavel, but that's what Gingrich is reported to have said ( or something similar).
Wow.@SpeakerMcCarthy made a side Ukraine deal with Democrats and didn’t tell House Republicans until after his Continuing Resolution passed.
