House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) vented his frustration about the hard-line conservatives holding up appropriations, dropping an expletive as he dared his fiercest critics to attempt a vote to oust him.
During a closed-door conference meeting Thursday, McCarthy addressed an uptick in threats from members to call a motion to vacate the chair — a move to force a vote on ousting the Speaker.
“If you want to file a motion to vacate, then file the ****&&& motion,” McCarthy said, Rep. Brian Mast (R-Fla.) recounted.
McCarthy’s comments follow Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) earlier this week explicitly threatening to call a motion to vacate if McCarthy does not follow through with a number of spending priorities and votes on bills that his detractors were promised in January.

Did he go crying into Frankie’s arms?
30 MAGA votes plus the Democrats and McCarthy is out. He’d be smart not to poke that bear.
John Boehner ,Paul Ryan and Kevin McCarthy the 3 stooges and they still went with Kevin McCarthy
McCarthy is worse than I thought he’d be.

So McCarthy is frustrated that he’s actually expected to keep his word. He needs to grow up and honor his agreements.
Meanwhile he does nothing to stop Biden. he is useless.
I would have more trust in McCarthy if he would drop those F-bombs on Democrats, instead of members of his own party.
I doubt that he ever intended to keep his word.
Sooooooo.......file the MF motion, I guess.
I think the GOP needs to go the way the Whigs. This is beyond tiresome.
“I doubt that he ever intended to keep his word.”
Agreed
May he join RINOmneyin the museum of no-spine pretenders. It’s war with the left. Take it to them and always turn it up a notch.
The focus should be on why doesn’t McCarthy keep his promises not the “extreme’ members.
How about addressing what Gaetz said instead?
Imagine if that POS was that intense on fighting for conservative values, AND releasing the J6 tapes/documents like he PROMISED and didnt do it. F ing lier.
“I think the GOP needs to go the way the Whigs. This is beyond tiresome.”
************
The GOP is what it is. Its a soulless party devoid of any convictions and that’s never going to change.
I thought McCrthy was a snake from the get go.
Well, K-k-k-kevin is right.
I mean, what’s to worry about? Everything’s cool.
Millions of crimigrant colonizers are flooding over the borders with the intent of stripping us of our wealth, Eastern Europe is on fire with WWIII a millisecond away, the Commies that he funds are arresting Trump and every Republican who ever shook his hand daily, kids are being forcefed a steady stream of insane pedo/homo/tranny indoctrination, and of course FJB strangled off the oil flow so inflation went through the roof and is currently defying all attempts to kill it.
And then there’s Kevin going along with insane, un capped spending.
So what’s the problem folks? Everythings great! You Extremists are just off your rockers!
Sure, Kevin.
So who replaces him?
