House Republicans move to oust Matt Gaetz to defend UniParty swamp at all costs – Discern Report

In case you still think the Republican wing of the Swamp UniParty is better than the Democratic wing, think again. They are just as evil, although they attack the nation from slightly different angles. They are the watchdogs running the Swamp, so no hard-line Republicans on Capitol Hill can go after them.

Today, his target is Congressman Matt Gaetz. The Swamp Member they are protecting is Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy. And they are willing to use the congressional equivalent of the death penalty to maintain power.

Gaetz has stated that he will move to expel McCarthy. While a majority of the GOP caucus supports their RINO leader, it may not be enough to keep McCarthy in power without the help of Democrats.

According to an article generated from corporate media sources by Discernment reporter:

House Republicans are currently working on a motion to expel Representative Matt Gaetz, a Republican from Florida, because of his renewed threat to introduce a motion to impeach House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Fox News has learned that GOP members will seek to oust Gaetz if the ethics committee report finds him guilty. Although one member stated that the report is mostly written, it is not known what it contains. This member also mentioned that he dislikes Gaetz more and more and described him as a “smart guy with no morals”.

Gaetz’s ouster requires a two-thirds vote, and Republicans currently hold a slim majority. With the 433-member chamber, the status of federally indicted Rep. George Santos, a Republican from New York, is unclear. The Republican majority could become even more precarious if members are expelled, retire or die.

During an interview with CNN, Gaetz announced his intention to introduce a motion to impeach President McCarthy, stating that new leadership is needed due to a lack of confidence. Gaetz accused McCarthy of lying to both President Biden and House conservatives, breaking promises and ignoring spending limits. McCarthy dismissed the motion, saying, “I’ll survive.” He urged Gaetz and others to move on and focus on governing.

Gaetz argued that his efforts to remove McCarthy were not personal but motivated by disagreements over spending. He accused McCarthy of reneging on spending deals and single-issue bills. The congressman rejected any suggestion of personal animosity and instead framed his actions as responsible for McCarthy.

Gaetz has been under investigation by the House Ethics Committee since 2021, facing allegations of campaign finance violations, bribery and drug use, which he vehemently denies. He also denies allegations related to a Justice Department sex-trafficking investigation involving an underage girl.

Gaetz warned that if McCarthy remained president, he would essentially serve at the Democrats’ pleasure. He believed the only way McCarthy could stay in office was if the Democrats bailed him out, which he predicted might happen.

Attempting to remove a speaker during a conference is rare. The last time there was an effort to remove the speaker was in 1910. However, former Rep. Mark Meadows threatened to use this tactic against Speaker John Boehner in 2015, leading to Boehner’s resignation.

With 433 members in the House, a successful candidate in the speaker’s race must get at least 217 votes. It is not yet known how many Republicans might vote against the motion to present or refer. McCarthy’s stance on government funding has angered many on the far right, and there is uncertainty over whether Democrats might support McCarthy or abstain from the vote. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has stressed that Republicans must resolve their internal disputes on their own.

On CNN’s “State of the Union,” Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez expressed her intention to vote to impeach McCarthy.

This is what happens when a Republican lawmaker challenges the UniParty Swamp. They will pursue him by any means necessary to retain power and silence anyone who fights on behalf of Americans and the Constitution.

Sounds about it on my subpile.
