Sorry OP, but holding a liar accountable is appropriate.

Gaetz worked and voted to oust a sack of shit member of the uni-party, sounds like he voted his conscience just like a lot of "principled conservatives" here say that's how they will vote in 2024.

Massie claims they had a bill cutting spending by 8% that included border security and Gaetz and 20 others voted it down:

THREAD:

Friday we voted on a bill to:

*fund appropriations at 92% for 30 days.

*pass HR-2, the Republican border security bill (sans e-verify)

*establish a debt commission.

I voted for it, but that bill failed because 21 republicans and every democrat voted against it.

He's also previously stated that Gaetz was instrumental in blocking the 12 different individual appropriations bills so that McCarthy couldn't get them to the floor or get them passed. In many of those votes, Gaetz voted alongside the Dems to obstruct legislation that the vast majority of Republicans agreed with (including no non-sense Conservatives like Massie and Chip Roy).

Multiple GOP Reps have spoken out and said this was all about a personal vendetta by Gaetz. Gaetz didn't want McCarthy to be speaker and when McCarthy won he somewhat spiked the football. Gaetz has been working overtime to MAKE SURE McCarthy couldn't get bills passed and has used a variety of obstructionist tactics while claiming McCarthy isn't doing what he promised.

I can't stand McCarthy. Is he a RINO? I don't think so. But, he's not particularly trustworthy or likeable. Regardless, McCarthy was kept in check by the Conservatives who actually wanted to see regular order, floor amendments, and less leadership control over the House. McCarthy has been held accountable and according to many Reps like Donalds, Roy, Massie etc he's kept his word.

It was particularly interesting to me that camera whore Nancy Mace joined Gaetz in this vote. I have a difficult time believing Gaetz and Mace over the other names mentioned. Look at their records. Look at their publicity seeking ways. Look at the fact it's an open secret Gaetz is trying to launch a campaign for Governor in Florida and Mace has similar aspirations for higher office.

I won't cry that McCarthy is gone. Don't like him. But, I think he was ejected for the wrong reason using tactics that were 100% backed by the Democrats. Some of you think "blowing things up" is the way to go. What you've forgotten is that the average voter disagrees. They're going to punish this kind of dysfunctional governance. The "outcome" of the budget battle is actually likely to be LESS favorable than if McCarthy had stayed. We're probably looking at an omnibus or another CR that includes no border security. It will also include Ukraine funding (which I'm totally fine with but many people here do NOT want).

I truly think that GD watches too many movies and trusts too many people who tell them what they want to hear. If McCarthy has done such a bad job why did only 7 Republicans, other than Gaetz, agree? One of which was Nancy Mace! Why would every single Democrat vote for this if McCarthy has been doing their bidding and making secret deals with them? Makes zero logical sense.

All he did was give the house to the libtards.  Now we are completely and utterly under the control of the dems.

Fuck McCarthy and his closed door deals with the devil.

When Gaetz delivers an omnibus, or a much worse budgeting outcome than an 8% total spending cut, what are you going to say? That he was betrayed? Because the 8% spending cut had the votes to pass had it not been for Gaetz and his cabal.

Time for Matt Gaetz to show he can deliver better results. No excuses. The baseline is an 8% total federal spending cut. Not a soul can say it can't pass. It would've passed fine had Gaetz and his group voted for it. Oh, it will shutdown the government you say? THAT'S LITERALLY WHAT HE'S MAD AT MCCARTHY FOR NOT DOING.

Either Gaetz delivers a better outcome than the 8% spending cut or he should resign in disgrace. But he won't. Because it was never about the issues or principles. It was about the flashing cameras and news hits.

Just wait until a few ‘moderate’ republicans team up with the democrats to put a D in charge because the business of the country has to move on.

Then Gaetz can take credit for it.

Gaetz just destroyed the dog and pony show. He let a bitch in heat go towards the west(dems) Slapped the ponys rears while they were facing east.(repubs)

Listen to the VIP ticket holders squeal.

This is no game.  Politics haven’t been about disagreements about how to do things for quite a while.

We are quite literally in the middle of a coldish civil war.

So many refuse to see the tyranny and persecution right in front of them.

The vast majority are too uninformed, stupid, or distracted trying to make ends meet due the economic conditions to do or even say anything unless steered.

Stop trying to act like the political strategies of the past 40 years have any merit at this next series of crossroads.

This was needed.   <————————————————.  .   THIS !  

It may amount to worse things but only because of the brainwashing that has been so successful.
