House Boots McCarthy As Speaker

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Unfortunately, most Republicans decided to be GOPe, and it was a small number of Republicans who do not want to play Republican Business As Usual with Democrats who did it

House Votes To Remove Kevin McCarthy As Speaker

The U.S. House voted Tuesday to remove Kevin McCarthy as speaker after Democrats joined with eight House Republicans to vote for a motion to vacate the chair.

Republican Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz filed the motion to vacate the chair Monday night, which then picked up the support of Democrats. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries “definitively” called for a vote against any procedural motion to delay the motion to vacate the chair earlier Tuesday and also said Democrats should vote to remove McCarthy.

The actual vote on the motion to vacate was 216-210. Republican Reps. Gaetz, Bob Good, Tim Burchett, Eli Crane, Matt Rosendale, Andy Biggs, Ken Buck and Nancy Mace voted for the motion to vacate the chair.

“We need a Speaker who will fight for something, anything other than just becoming or staying Speaker. The polls show the public is blaming Biden and the Democrats for an imminent shutdown. If not fight now, when would we fight? Now is and was the time!,” Good said in a speech on the House floor before the vote.

It’s a good point. What are the Republicans under McCarthy doing? Are they tough on the border? Tough on Biden? Tough on Democrats? Tough on the politicized and partisan DOJ/FBI? The impeachment into Biden seems more pro-forma than something meant to go anywhere. Democrats would have impeached him at least 3 times by now if he were Trump.

Not sure about you, but, I listened to a bunch of those who voted to keep McCarthy, and they were all whining about Gaetz getting in the way of business as usual, and how that is supposed to hurt Republicans. And others who I didn’t expect this from

Republicans really get little done. Give it to Democrats, when they say they will do something, they damned sure give it a shot.

McCarthy will not attempt to regain the speakership.

Today I voted for the Motion to Vacate and remove the Speaker.

This isn’t about left vs right.

This isn’t about ideology.

This is about trust and keeping your word.

This is about making Congress do it’s job.

I promised the Lowcountry I would be an independent voice in Congress. That I would call the balls and strikes and do the right thing regardless of party.

The Speaker has not lived up to his word on how the House would operate.

No budget, no separate spending bills until it was too late, a CR which takes spending power out of the hands of the people and puts all the power into the hands of a select few.

There has also been no action on many issues we care about and were promised. We were promised we would move on women’s issues and legislation to keep our communities safe. Those things never happened.

I came here to take difficult votes and do the right thing, regardless of the pressure and regardless of the threats (bc there’s been plenty of both). Today I’m voting against 95 percent of my party in the hopes of fixing how Congress operates.

With the current Speaker, this chaos will continue. We need a fresh start so we can get back to the people’s business free of these distractions.

I’ll work with anyone willing to do that and look forward to voting for a Speaker who shares this vision for changing Congress and getting us back on a path to delivering results for the people.
