  1. He needs to shut up! He is having a meltdown because they all got exposed for not doing their job! 208 traitors in The House of Representatives.
    8 Heroes that was looking out for Americans.

  2. reported for fake news. not telling the truth here. shes not the speaker, that was the speakers office. not wrongfully evicted. should have been removed from that office the moment she was no longer the speaker.

  3. Thats a no.😂😂😂Let the voting begin. Hopefully they can find a speaker in less than 15 rounds.😂😂😂

  4. Maybe he should take pac money like 95% of them right? No…i cant stand gaetz but his refusal to accept pac money is one thing hes dead on about…you can come at him about a lot of stuff but not about where and how he gets his money

  5. Gaetz (Pronounce Gates) dropped McCarthy like a minor who mentions to her date that she is an under aged minor girl. He dropped the speaker like a sack of sand in the President's path once he found out his blind date is a minor below age 18 years. It's only a matter of time before a cop would arrest a man dating a minor. A few months ago, McCarthy had gotten elected as speaker with much difficulty and much opposition. The removal initiative resulted from ex speaker McCarthy nearly always getting votes of democrats in nearly every issue to get the job done. Congress Matt Gaetz (Pronounced GATES) says everyone need to get back to work. The beautiful wall on the border with with Mexico needs to be built soon, some say.

  6. Hogwash – the GOP is totally responsible – McCarthy is responsible for his own actions.

    He was graceless after the Dems helped pass a CR Saturday night.

    This guys spin is purely self-serving – and that is what so many Americans are getting really tired of….

    When they refuse the facts and the truth – and lie in official messaging and in hearings, they place themselves ahead of the country. That is the exact opposite that more and more Americans want.

    Authoritarians want to rule us, they don't want to represent us.

  7. Representative Graves is absolutely correct! The fundraising ethics of government representatives should be examined!

  8. make hiring any illegal a felony.. immigration problem solved ..the immigration thing is theatrics, the Right can not do biz w/o illegals

  9. Seriously, how can the GOP govern the house majority or the country when simple thing like govern their own party, they cant even keep it together, Failure !!🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

  10. Terrible reporting. 52% of Rep. Graves' funding comes from PACs, compared to 0.15% of Rep. Gatez (Source: OpenSecrets). 60% of Gaetz's is from small individual contributions compared to 0.12% of Graves. Of course he is going to do email drives. This isn't a surprise.

  11. Look at Trump he looks like he is ready to cry😩Boo Hoo I'm losing everything😩because of my Big Mouth 😁😆😅🤣😂😛😉😝🤪😜

  12. They will have 38 days from Tuesday next week when they vote on a new speaker and that is only if they can get that done in a day. They could drag it out for days/weeks. The us v. them members of Congress need to be voted out. We need legislators who are willing to work across the aisle for compromise with integrity & civility. To honor their oath to the Constitution & to uphold democracy when partisan politics & personality bears its ugly head. VOTE BLUE for democracy.
