McCarthy to Gaetz: ‘Bring It On,’ I’ll Survive as Speaker
Breitbart ^ | 10/01/2023 | Pam Key

Posted on 10/01/2023 9:35:51 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that Rep. Matt Gaetz’s (R-FL) plans to come after his speakership will fail.

Anchor Margaret Brennan said, “I want to start, though, on the news from Congressman Matt Gaetz, who says he’s going to seek a motion to vacate. He’s going to try to oust you as speaker of the House.”

McCarthy serves the democrats for his authority as house speaker. This won’t end well for him, regardless.

Of course Gaetz will fail, but the point is, that he actually does it.

If Gaetz has enough supporters they can shut McCarthy down in everything he tries to do until he steps down. That is what they need to do. Make McCarthy live up to every item he agreed to with conservatives to get the Speaker position or he gets no support on anything.

Isn’t it interesting that McCarthy only disses people in his own party, not the trash of the other side?

Any question about which side this guy plays for?

Gaetz is radioactive. He has jumped the shark. He has no friends in Congress. Gaetz is a sociopath.

If Gaetz gets a dozen to side with him I’ll be astounded.

Gaetz’ repeated attacks and threats against others is exactly the behavior of a sociopath.

That is no different than on FR. Posters arrack other Republicans everyday here.

On DUmmies, I seldom see democrats attacking other Democrats . Some Republicans are cannibalistic. They love to eat their own. There are too many purist Republicans. It is their way or the highway.

No wonder democrats have been in majority longer since JFK.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation”... Who else but McCarthy or other RINO would appear on that Sunday dung-heap?

Like Gaetz himself, you believe he is the only one true conservative savior in the U.S. Congress. His snake oil is working on you.

Gaetz's Position: You are not doing the job you promised to the American people when we acquiesced and made you Speaker. Step down, get out of the way, we have work to do.

McCarthy's Position: Bring it on. I'll remain Speaker even if I have to sell the Speakership to the Democrats to do it. You're not going to take this away from me.

The vote to vacate will more than likely fail, but it is the second step of many required to destroy McCarthy and RINOs. Yesterday was the first step. Every bill in the future that McCarthy brings to the House floor is an additional step. Every bill should require McCarthy to seek help from Democrats. I don’t give a damn if nothing is ever passed in Congress again. We have all the laws we need. Government doesn’t enforce the laws on the books on an equal basis. Immigration is a perfect example. We don’t need new immigration laws or border security. We just need what’s on the books enforced. We certainly don’t need anymore spending.

People need to realize that McCarthy and his RINO butt buddies voted with Democrats for a spending monstrosity yesterday. It’s only a continuing resolution, right? It continues every commie program that Pelosi and Biden put into place. It only continues outrageous spending. It’s only for 45 days, but by voting for the continuing resolution the government went into an additional $0.25 Trillion of debt. That’s how much money is being spent that we don’t have. That is the cause of inflation. That makes our children and grandchildren debt slaves.

I want these eff’n commies destroyed.

Write your reps and tell them to support the removal of mccarthy. He betrayed his word. And using democrats to do so makes him just another democrat.
Let’s clean house of all fake conservatives so we can see clearly where we stand and where we have to build.

We’ve played this fake conservative game for far too long.

On this issue, and many others, I'll stand with Gaetz rather than McCarthy. If folks start calling me a sociopath for it, oh well. In addition to all the ridiculous racial and social epithets, we've been labeled Rethuglicans, Whacko-birds, and Hobbits by our own political allies. "Sociopath" doesn't even register ... it's not even clever.

“Gaetz is radioactive. He has jumped the shark. He has no friends in Congress. Gaetz is a sociopath.”

***********

He’s one of the few who in congress that wants to stop the reckless spending and save the country from insolvency and endless war. He is also expecting McCarthy to honor his word and commitments. So how exactly does that make him a sociopath?

Wanting to do the responsible thing in congress or in the DC Swamp can quickly make one “radioactive”. Gaetz is going up against the same DC crowd that resisted and undermined Trump when he was president.

You wrote...” It's only a continuing resolution, right? It continues every commie program that Pelosi and Biden put into place.”....

Which is exactly why Pelosi called it a “loss for Maga”...rather than a loss for Republicans.
