Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) on Wednesday reacted to news that former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (RINO-CA) will retire and leave Washington at the end of 2023 before his term expires.
“This is not an act of patriotism or moving on to the next fight. It is an act of abject selfishness,” Gaetz said of McCarthy’s decision to leave the House before the end of his term. “If he cannot run the place and be Speaker, then he will leave.”
Gaetz added, “Nancy Pelosi, for all her flaws, and there are many, at least stuck around. She didn’t hurt her team by saying, well, if I can’t be the quarterback,

That's the plan. Elimin the republican majority one at a time, put mad Nan back in charge, end all the Investigations, and cruise to a one party state. The pubbies will be happy since they won't have to do anything.

What is Gaetz's problem? He wasn't happy when McCarthy was Speaker and now he's complaining that he's not sticking around like Pelosi did? Gaetz should do the job he was sent to Washington to do, except I don't know what he has done since he's been in the House. You got your way, so stop being so petty.

I (sort of) understand Gaetz’s logic.
Except he omits one probable fact: Nancy didn’t leave because she IS continuing to run things. (You think Hakeem thinks for himself?)

mccarthy has proven himself to be the "wolf in sheep's clothing" and this display of total egocentrism is on display for all to see
- anyone remember reading in so many comments in Lucianne.com that the Republicans will shoot themselves in the foot and lose control of the government??
- well, standby, that day is at hand and the repubs have fulfilled the most disastrous and dire prognostications authored by the L-Dotters with the only question to be asked
- "where do we go from here?"

Congress is a two year stint. If Kevin were a true patriot, which he is not, he would not do this grand standing.
Good riddance to bad rubbish. Another RINO gone is probably a good thing.

Hopefully his district will send a true conservative in his place.
I'm sure he plans to cash in on his influence in ways that were awkward while he was still in congress.

Dion’t be obtuse by cranking on Matt Gaetz. He is not the problem. Kevin McCarthy is. Matt is correct too. Even Nasty Nan knew enough to stick around for the good of her party. All this says to every Republican is that if I can’t be the top dog, I’m done even if it means handing the majority to the demonic democrats.
The villain in this little pity party is not Matt. It is Kevin McCarthy who is throwing a big temper tantrum and hoping people will blame Matt. Nah, we are not stupid. It was Kevin who broke his word. He is and always will be a butt hurt hypocrite who believes he is entitled. He never was entitled to one thing. He was there to serve the people and now when it matters most, he is leaving us in the lurch. I cannot respect this decision. By this selfish act alone, he proves he is a not a man of honor or worthy of any leadership position.

#2, McCarthy has behaved like the petty one during this entire process, and now he is adding vengeance to his repertoire. As far as what Matt Gaetz has done in Congress, for one thing, he’s kept focus on the J6 political prisoners, something which all our beloved RINO reps have seemed to forgotten. Kevin McCarthy lied to his fellow Congress people and paid the price he was warned he would pay. If he was there to serve the country, he would have stayed in place for the stronger majority. But, he is Deep State through and through, and his main job was to protect himself and the kick back money to all who are a part of it.

LOL . . . Prom King gets his crown taken away, so he quits school. Yet it's Matt Gaetz who's petty.
Some of ya'll crack me up.

First, McCarthy is no prize, but I stick with my comment about Gaetz. Tell me one bill he has sponsored or how he has helped with the problems we have, and I might change my mind about him. The first time I ever heard about him was someone trying to save his bacon when he was having young girl problems. He's a typical politician like most of them, and both McCarthy and Gaetz can leave Congress for all I care. Everyone was happy to see McCarthy ousted and now everyone thinks he should stay???

The dear Matt had no end plan, he caused issues that had consequences. Everyone says we need to have term limits, well McCarthy term limited himself-get over it.

Maybe the Republicans shouldn't have been so quick to expel George Santos.
