- Gutfeld Thrashes ‘Pathetic’ Republican Drama Over McCarthy’s Ouster: ‘Sound and Fury Signify...
Greg Gutfeld chided the handful of Republicans on Tuesday who voted to remove Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) from his position. Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) filed a motion to vacate the chair, which triggered a vote on whether to oust McCarthy. Eight Republicans joined 208 Democrats in voting for the motion, thus booting McCarthy from the speakership. The move has been roundly criticized by most prominent Republicans, who view the drama as an unnecessary distraction from running the House with a divided government. The last straw for Gaetz appeared to be a 45-day stopgap funding bill that averted a shutdown at the end of September. More Democrats voted for the package than Republicans. On Tuesday’s edition of The Five, Gutfeld seemed fed up with the ordeal. “It’s kind of sad because nobody bothered to bring any clarity to this,” he said. “If you can’t explain or persuade… .....

Matt Gaetz (R-FL). Gaetz sought to vacate the chair after expressing no confidence in Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) leadership or his ability to get the budget under control. The final vote was 216 Yeas (to remove McCarthy) and 210 Nays (not to remove McCarthy). Rep. Patrick T. McHenry (R-NC) immediately assumed the post of speaker pro tempore. “In the opinion of the chair, prior to the election of a speaker, it would be prudent to first recess for the relative caucus and conferences to discuss the path forward.” After declaring the House in recess, McHenry banged the speaker’s gavel down hard in a display of rage and frustration. “An angry gaveling down by the man named as speaker pro tem, meaning he is… .....

- ‘That Is a Stunner’: Cable News Networks Shocked By Historic Ouster of Kevin McCarthyWhen the gavel finally came down, making the ouster of Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) as Speaker of the House official, cable news had a new historic moment on their hands. Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) followed through on his threat to move to vacate McCarthy, and after a failure to table the motion, the votes came down to a narrow margin: 216 in favor of ousting McCarthy, 210 against. CNN anchor Jake Tapper, after explaining the math, called the vote a “resounding defeat” for McCarthy, also stating, “For the first time in the history of the United States, the Speaker of the House has been removed.” Before turning to Manu Raju, CNN chief congressional correspondent and new host of Inside Politics Sunday, Tapper noted the “devastating day for former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who told reporters that the 15 rounds he went through of balloting in January taught… .....

Tim Burchett (R-TN), one of the seven Republicans who voted to oust House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) in a shocking and historic vote on Tuesday, claimed in an interview on CNN that McCarthy “belittled” his faith in a phone conversation the morning of the vote. Burchett appeared on The Lead with Jake Tapper Tuesday and was asked who he thinks has the votes to replace McCarthy as speaker of the House. The Tennessee Republican said Tom Cole, Tom Emmer and Steve Scalise are all “excellent choices” who would “do an excellent job,” before turning his ire on McCarthy. “They’re honorable men, to me at least, and they’ve never openly mocked me, anyway,” he said. “They sure as heck have always kept their word to me. There’s several others that have whispered in my ear during all of this. And of course I don’t want to… ..... Read More.7 hours ago

Matt Gaetz (R-FL) amid the fight over whether to oust Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA). The House ultimately voted to remove McCarthy as speaker on Tuesday by a vote of 216 to 210. Though Roy did not mention the Florida lawmaker by name, it was quite clear he was talking about Gaetz. “Some of our brothers and sisters – particularly in the, you know, MAGA camp, I think – particularly enjoy the circular firing squad,” Roy told Steve Deace of The Blaze before ripping Gaetz for supposedly calling him a RINO – Republican In Name Only. “You wanna come out me and call me a RINO? You can kiss my ass. Look, I’ve spent a lifetime fighting for limited government conservatism. I have laid it all on the line. I have not seen my… ..... Read More.7 hours ago
