Why is it that Republicans are always fighting among themselves, why aren’t they fighting the Radical Left Democrats who are destroying our Country?

I wish House Republicans fought as hard for everyday Americans as they do for Kevin McCarthy.

They never show this level of passion when it comes to the border, the opioid pandemic, the housing crisis, the nationwide crime wave, the trade imbalance, inflation, or anything else.

🚨 JUST IN: Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries says "House Democratic leadership will vote YES on the pending Republican motion to vacate the chair" and remove @SpeakerMcCarthy
 

McCarthy was banking on some support from Democrats in order to maintain his position.

If all Democrats vote in favor of vacating, McCarthy can only afford to lose FIVE Republicans.

Things are NOT looking good for the Speaker.

From colleague Kelly Phares. Democrats have officially been told by leadership per their whip notice to vote NO on motion to table and YES on the motion to vacate.

I am not familiar enough with the House GOP members - other than Greene and Gaetz I don't know who else is going to vote against McCarthy. 

I would like to see McCarthy ousted, but I don't want someone in there who is going to be even worse, so I really hope Gaetz has someone in mind.

It would appear to be time for Kevin McCarthy to run around the Capitol pulling some fire alarms.

No,  Trump is not being "hypocritical".    You seem to be conflating Congressional business with a primary contest.

Good one, Ann.  This is actually funny!

It doesn't matter who Gaetz has in mind.  It matters if he can get someone for whom 216 other Republicans will vote, and he cannot know at this point whether that is possible.

Voting now to table the motion

I think Gaetz is right to call a vote to remove McCarthy, but it should have been done awhile ago and definitely with some plan to move forward.  This could backfire.

I don't think he should have called it unless a majority of House Republicans supported it.  At that point, I have zero problem with removing the Speaker.  But when you have a tiny minority of the caucus uniting with the Democrats to get rid of a Republican Speaker, it just stinks.

- Single subject bills
- Vote on balanced budget amendment
- Commitment to hold hearings on unauthorized gov programs
- Task force focused on controlling federal spending

What do these things have in common? They were all commitments that Speaker McCarthy made, then broke.

McCarthy will be voted out.

Then he will be Speaker again.

Matt Gaetz needs to be removed from Congress after this. He is one person of 435. And he is costing us the House in 2024.

I think Gaetz is speaking for the "Blow it all up" crowd.  Or the "I really really wish reality was different than it is" crowd.

If there truly is no plan, then this was stupid on Gaetz's part.  At this point -- Maybe Green to be speaker?
