#KevinMcCarthy #MattGaetz #Speaker
My kevin didn’t do what trump wanted. This is what happens when you betray trump and become a traitor. MAGA knows what to do with trump traitors.
Like 👍 ❤🇺🇸💪 Matte Gaetz 🇺🇸🇺🇸♥️
Ugh Gaetz sucks
Matt Gaetz just looks like a generic villain from a bad movie. Once that pretends to be good while just caring about himself and doing the opposite of what he claims to stand for. I can’t even believe the crap that comes out of his mouth. If the devil ever tried to run in politics, Matt Gaetz would pretty much be that in a nutshell.
How a frat bro became a congressman will always buzzle me!
Yep, total brat..
So foolish. He just handed Dems the keys. 😂
Let them fight. Really sad party. Needs to end.😅😅😅
Just get rid of gatz.
Matt is not to be trusted. If you notice nobody is talking about biden and inpreachment, this man works for democrats
Take out the garbage, Gaetz.
McCartney slithered in the speakers office and refused to leave before he was voted in they should have stood their ground in the beginning!
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
GAETZ IS NOW AN ANTAGONIST OF AMERICANS AND THEIR FINANCIAL SECURITY.
Good get rid of the RINOs. Let the chips fall where they may.
VOTE OUT ALL REPUBLICANS NATIONWIDE IN 2024.
Matt Gaetz has no interest in a functioning government. He just wants chaos and a vacuum in D.C. that can be filled by a dictator.
This man is just loving all the attention hes getting 😂😂😂. Thats the only reason hes doing this .
I want Gaetz to get the amount of votes that we need to vacate Kevin McCarthy from the house. A America needs it. We’re tired of paying for somebody else’s war and the border and everything else Americans are struggling now plus higher taxes or tired of it and the fact that he made some side deal with Biden for Ukraine is irresponsible. But I never liked Mccarthy,. I never trusted him and I wanted you like him and I wanted to trust him but he’s proven that he does not honor his word and he’s not for the American people first.
Who let the clowns out?
Gaetz, MTG and the rest of the Ghoul Tools seem really keen on shutting down the US government and stopping aid from going to Ukraine……..hmmmmmmmm
Maybe some Republicans should vote for Hakeem Jeffries to get this thing resolved. He would not be obligated to the MAGA right, so the House could finally move forward with some practical action in support of the American people.
Gaetz won’t be satisfied until a few Republicans join the Democrat block and make Hakeem Jeffries the speaker.
as a dem i rather have McCarthy as speaker than Gaetz if those are the only options.
Gaetz is an ego maniac…what other excuse is their for his style…as in hair…
KEVIN AT THE BEGINNING DID NOT LOOK LIKE A LEADER, BUT A PUPPET!!!!!!!!!!!!! A POLITICAL CLOWN!!!!!
Republicans are stable geniuses.
That’s the face of somebody who loves the attention. Even when negative.
Trump 🇺🇸2024✊
This guy is SCREAMING inside that echoey building.
Oh c’mon.. what a frickin joke .. Where’s Lauren??..
He must like Biden.👎👎
When I saw Pelosi was breastfeeding Mccarthy, I knew there was trouble.
Kevin exposed today.
Donald, Mitch and Lindsey tomorrow…?
You Republicans are so so, so, so, sooooooooooo dim, it’s truly bewildering.
The Art Of The Deal.
SHAMEFUL!!!
Republicans cannot even unite as one! As Mitt Romney said, only 25% is SANE in the GOP.
Don’t tell me the MAGA’S don’t have a plan as to who would replace him!!
He is so ARROGANT!!! I CAN’T STAND HIM!!!
Republicans keep voting for idiots funded by billionaires to distract us, meanwhile, they are siphoning trillions from our economy…
Traitor!
He is placing himself in position to be trumps running mate. With the further possibility of the continued GOP support into a presidential run in ’28.
Trump will be the next president of USA.
Wanna know what stupid looks like ……..knowing what happened to the last two Republican Speakers …..Boehner …and Ryan …..and thinking it ain’t gonna happen to him !!!!!
Meanwhile, in the real world, republicans have forgotten the fact that they havent done anything to help the American Working class, veterans, or the elderly.
And they hate college graduates, and small business owners.
GOP = Garbage On Patrol 😮
🐍
It’s about time!! The constitution allows for Any American Person to EXPEL ANY CONGRESS OR SENATOR THAT IS NOT UPHOLDING THE AMERICAN PEOPLES BEST INTEREST!! There are several representatives that deserve to be EXPELLED!!
Attaboy Congressman Gaetz
TRUMP/GAETZ 2024
🇺🇸🇺🇸 MAGA 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Gaetz is 100% right in the government funding issue. Not much else we agree on
The weakest speaker in the history of the US lol
Matt is still better than every single dem in the house
what Matt wants, Matt Gaetz…..
Matt Gaetz Father is German right?!
How dare he try to avoid a government shutdown where we can go weeks or even months without paying the salaries of our hardworking military!
An Orcs-loving, crypto-fascist, child-toucher—American politics at its worst…
Gaetz is just evil(and has the most punchable face in politics) and McCarthy is a jellyfish. I just hope the Dems don’t back McCarthy, because he is and has always been, working for Trump and is a complete snake. I know Gaetz is too, obviously, but they are so moronic that they are just fighting with each other now. Enjoy……while Biden keeps the country running. See, all those hating, vile, criminals will always turn on each other at some time, because they’re all out for themselves and there is no such thing as honour, integrity, compassion, or service to THE PEOPLE.
We the people against forever Wars support Matt.
Why he’s not in jail yet?
Gaetz claims that McCarthy needs democrats for help. Does Gaetz realize he need democrats to oust McCarthy
Matty water gate
Matt Gaetz sucks.
Fitting to wear a yellow tie. What a coward. We need a color for ignorance.
Thank you Matty. You can dismatle the republican party all by yourself.
Matt Gaetz enjoy chaos and celebrate about hurting other people. This man is a psychopath.
The Republican Party is the only one that votes against each other. you don’t see that in the Democratic Party. that doesn’t look good in anything that’s done in DC.
Gaetz isn’t against McCarthy, he is for the USA!
Lets go maga will win this war
Democrats wish they could have done this to Nancy
As a democrat I’d take McCarthy over Gaetz any day
Florida man is butt hurt…
>>>>>
Understand Your Existence … sea rch EXISTNC
Mccarthy wanted to be speaker of the house so bad , to impress his parents and his heritage he would agree to anything. It reminds me of the election of popes . If any pope starts to start running for election he will be the last one considered.He obviously doesn’t have the backbone or intelligence to retain this very high position .Pelosi was so much more intelligent . I’m not American but this is the way that I see things.
Democratics stay out of this Bull 🐂 Sh NOW immediately Matt Gaezt needs to go we have our own problems..they have others they want to put in to hurt the STORY on the American PPL the others want to hurt the families health care Jobs and other things so stay out of it Democratics and Independents NOW at least we know McCarthy and how he .. Matt wants someone to hurt is the PPL of the USA
Very unlikely to succeed. Gaetz is the Ted Cruz of the House.
Succeeded.
@P W Have to admit, I’m surprised. Who’s on deck for the chopping block?
so if you do your job for the american people, you get kick out by the republicans bunch, what kind of country is this??? Mccarthy did his job and this is how the republicans repaid him by trying to kick him out. i hope you are taking notes america, when elections time comes you know what to do.. vote, vote,vote blue🗳️🗳️🗳️🗳️vote democrat, this can not keep happening.
How EMBARRASSING GAETZ IS! NOT A SMART M9VE ACTUALLY GIVES DEMS MORE POWER OVER REPUBLICANS! GATEZ IS TRYING TO DIVIDE REPUBLICAN PARTY. What a jerky! Not a very smart guy
Call for the expulsion of Matt Gaetz to leave his position in congress
House democrats, you really don’t want Matt Gaetz as the next speaker.
Gaetz didn’t think about this. Did he? It’s time for some to get put in time out.
Kick McCarthy to the curb.
THAT IS SO VERY DUMB!!
Go figure. The GOP wants to punish one of their own for working with the other party. God forbid the government works together for the good of the country.
Matt Goetz hit the nail on the head. The reason congress has had approval ratings down in the single digits is exactly what Goetz brought out. Campaign money. Mccarthy is in bedxwith campaign money. He needs to be out the door.
Was donald trump who made it easier to oust Mccarthy. Where he orchestrated a deal with boebert and several others to for essentially a vote of no confidence. And that right there and that right there is why he’s being prosecuted 50 times. People wake up.
Which case is using that as evidence instead of actual evidence?
This is just BS as folks need to grow up and be adults as anyone who votes yes need to go to , Russia🇷🇺 period as there not human or for humanity!!! Just sad as he did nothing wrong but be adult and let’s get the , Government on point before November 17 period! The will show the world🌎 The US is definitely the best 1 the top of let’s have peace!
So because he wanted millions of hard working people who keep our country safe to continue to get paid he got kicked out… seriously. The United States is the most evil country on the face of this planet.
What’s up with the spooky eyebrows.
Gates is a trouble maker
What a shameful display of leadership in OUR house🤦🏻♂️
Thank you Matt Gaetz. Way past time for RINO McCarthy to be gone. Should have never voted him in. I knew he was a RINO before he was voted in.
You and the woke will make America broke. Matt what was your real motive and will it ever happen?
Matt just worked with Dems to vote out Kevin.😂
Out with the , OLD , in with the , Youth !
Good news old news at anytime is still news to everyone. 🎉😂🎉
Great move Gaetz! McCarthy is a RINO and does the bidding of Democrats.
Good thinking, that explains why the Democrats tried to keep him in. Oh wait, that’s the exact opposite of what happened, so strange!
He was probably the best. House since he was walking to compromise . That’s why our government is worthless at this point . Nobody wants to work together to actually solve issues . Compromise is the only way . Neither side does it so it doesn’t matter .
I was hoping Macarthy would make it
Karma will one day visit Gaetz.
I wish it was McCarthy’s who did it. Maybe they can find some juice in her laptop while xlesning it out.
The empire is trembling more and more. First with the woke Marxists in the WH and now even the GOP is acting with confusion…..!!!!
Just when we thought it couldn’t get any more ridiculous. 💩SHOW. 🤡SHOW.
As long as Gaetz is a Republican congressman the GOP has no honor or credibility.
I never thought I would read the News title:
Republicans Triggered
Republican Triggered, causes insurrection at the Capital
Republicans Triggers, causes inssurection at the Capital with 200+ Democrats.
Actually I think I have heard one of those title before never thought the day I would see Democrats working with Republicans to overthrow the government.
Who are the Democrats alternative they voted unanimously for this.
Dude is bad news the one you wouldn’t want next to you in a combat situation
