"We cannot tolerate a speaker who votes with Democrats.  Therefore we will vote with the Democrats to remove him."

All I see is Gaetz filed a motion yesterday.

Daily Caller


In any event, it appears there is a seven page thread on it.

If they're not replacing him with another Republican, this is a bad move.

Why anyone would want that job is beyond me.

OP jumping the gun.   Voting is underway.

Kind of a click-bait thread title.

This is the best synopsis I've seen so far, published earlier today: DISCLAIMER, this came from The Guardian...

"The math is difficult for McCarthy. With such a narrow majority, McCarthy can only afford to lose four Republican votes and keep his gavel, assuming every House Democrat votes against the speaker. However, if some Democrats vote “present” on the motion, the threshold for a majority would be lowered, which could help McCarthy survive.

Speaking to reporters after a meeting with his conference, McCarthy appeared somewhat resigned to his fate, even as he said he was “confident” he could hang on.

“If five Republicans go with Democrats, then I’m out,” McCarthy acknowledged.

A reporter said: “That looks likely.”

Nobody should have that job more than one year/session of Congress.   It is too powerful of a position for one person that the entire nation does not vote for, to hold for so many years.

Maybe the sex trafficker alleged sex trafficker can get himself elected as Speaker now.

The motion to table will fail. Dems aren’t crossing over. The next vote will likely be the same as motion to table votes . So he will lose.


Anyone who is upset about this is rino trash. McCarthy is a  turd.

Did not pass.  208 to 218.  No dems said yes.

All McCarthy had to do was keep his word:  Release the j6 tapes & introduce separate spending bills.

I'm surprised. I thought enough Dems would not vote to keep him in, at least long enough to make the UKR cash grab.

It would be nice because he sucked Democrat deep throater so much and did it with a smile. Nothing will change though. Another corrupt clown will be put in that spot and those who voted him out will be punished for it in various ways.

Came to post this. He grin fucked the Representatives that he needed to secure the Speaker position. Apparently he thought he could get away with it.

He's a RINO.  He was never going to do that.  He made RINO promises to get the position knowing he'd never actually do it.

Never trust a RINO unless they are talking about something that benefits RINOs

MCCarthy only needs to please his base.  Just like speaker Nancy did.  She apparently has more balls than Kevin.

He's a sack of shit.  Has been each time he's been in there and I have no doubt that McConnell and the Dems are twisting every tit they can to keep him around.

One of the news stations had this story one early this morning.  It looked like he'd be out by today or tomorrow. Seems like they saw it coming but I didn't watch enough of it to find out what brought it on.
