As Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) launches his rebellion against House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), multiple reports indicate that House Republicans are looking to get rid of the Florida congressman altogether.

According to a report from CNN, an unnamed House Republican said that the caucus wants Gaetz gone — and that they may use the findings from the ongoing Ethics Committee investigation into the Florida congressman to oust him.

It's not that he diddles kids, or drives drunk that that don't like. Those they are fine with. It's that he dared to question their authority where they draw the line.

I know this is probably BS, but part of me really hopes this is the opening salvo in a Republican civil war that shreds their party to pieces.

I would settle for "pares away the far-right extremists and starts trying to achieve bipartisan goals" at this point. Only if the Progressive Dems can hold and drag the "center" leftwards to the actual center again.

Unfortunately not a civil war but rather yet another move to eradicate anyone not extreme enough for them.

How is Gaetz not extreme enough? Do you honestly think he's anything but on the far right?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

McCarthy wasn't extreme enough was what I meant

When Matt Gaetz was fucking kids, they cheered, but when he tried to fuck an old man, that’s taking it too far!

Isn't this the venmoing teenagers for sex guy? Pretty sure this is the venmoing teenagers for sex guy. Shouldn't be hard to bury him at all if they got their thunbs out of their butts.

Hey, are you guys talking about the venmoing teenagers for sex guy? Cause I thought that you were talking about the guy who was venmoing teenagers for sex.

Someone’s going to leak a video of Gaetz that they’ve been holding back.

I think the Bobo handjob video was organic, but I’m sure they have material on her as well.

Imagine what they've got in the actual blackmail files on Boebert if she's just publicly jacking off gay nightclub owners for fun.

A house divided will fall. Might as well get it started with this greasy turd.
