“The Office of Speaker of the House Is Hereby Declared VACANT”
We live in historic times.
YOU live in historic times!
For the first time in the history of the House, the Speaker of the House has been removed by vote.
Unprecedented and I wasn’t confident it would actually happen today.
Watch the final moment:

An incredibly job by Matt Gaetz!
BREAKING: Republican Representative Kevin McCarthy has been removed as House Speaker.
Here is Matt Gaetz blasting members of Congress for being owned by “lobbyists and special interests” right before McCarthy was ousted.

I tend to agree with DC_Draino most times and especially here:
Vacating McCarthy – My analysis:
I stand with Rep @mattgaetz
McCarthy agreed to rules when he was voted in as Speaker that he is not following
Now he gets punished, simple as that
If Gaetz and others don’t hold him accountable, KM will continue to steamroll Republican voters…

Now he gets punished, simple as that
If Gaetz and others don’t hold him accountable, KM will continue to steamroll Republican voters with Uniparty concessions
Yes, I’d prefer to continue investigating the Biden crime family and fight as a unified front against the Democrats, but at a certain point, we have to put our foot down and say “enough is enough”
That time is now
Here’s what I think will happen:
McCarthy will be vacated from the Speaker position and we’ll return to endless rounds of Speaker votes
Do we have an heir apparent? No
I frankly expect McCarthy to be voted back in as Speaker after an extensive public humiliation exercise, but only after more concessions are made to Gaetz and crew
And that’s what why we should all support Gaetz
Democracy is ugly, messy, and uncertain, but real change can only happen when courageous Patriots take a firm stand
Gaetz and crew are the Patriots taking that stand and returning even more power back to the People
So….big question who takes over for McCarthy?
Does he get back in as DC_Draino suggests?
Why not Gaetz?
