It was talked about, and it happens. A bit unserious maybe, but one can point to reasons why.

McCarthy is solely consumed by his ambition. Others know he'll do what he can to bury any meaningful oversight that might be done by the House.

Anyone claiming "we have to do it now, and right away" is echoing the creed of the tyrant.

There is either no acknowledgement or glossing over of WHY there is opposition, and that is at the root of the problem. Have to give Obama/Biden/Pelosi credit--they're siccing federal agencies on their 'enemies'.

Trump is the legitimate president, they should vote him speaker and set to.

218 Republicans won’t, though.

I just heard Brian Kilmeade weighing in on your Congresscritter — Kilmeade speculated that NONE of Gaetz’s constituents supported his actions - and are all highly embarrassed by his actions.

‘Rasmussen Reports Survey Results – Less Than Half of GOP Voters Want McCarthy as Speaker’

Just imagine Trump setting up a real J6 investigation. Make it so.

Kilmeade better produce receipts. Otherwise, for fun some constituents from Gaetz’ district should sue for defamation.

Matt said that McCarthy is the biggest gator in the swamp, and should not be trusted to clear the swamp.

Kilmeade is horrible. I think SNL did a skit about him, being a doofus like he is.

Just shows....the whole thing is a joke and Gaetz is leading the packing. Hope they all lose in their next election. They are gaining nothing and only creating chaos.

So you 19....keep kissing Gaetz's.....and see where it gets you.
