I Will Move to Oust McCarthy as Speaker this Week

Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL) mentioned Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that he’ll provide a movement to vacate the Speakership of Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) this week.

Anchor Jake Tapper mentioned, “The House gavels back in tomorrow at noon. Are you going to make a motion to vacate?”

Gaetz mentioned, “Speaker McCarthy made an agreement with house conservatives in January, and since then he has been in brazen, repeated material breach of that agreement. This agreement that he made with Democrats, to really blow past a lot of the spending guardrails we had set up is the last straw. And overnight I learned that Kevin McCarthy had a secret deal with Democrats on Ukraine as he was baiting Republicans to vote for a continuing resolution without Ukraine money, saying that we were going to jam it in thew Senate on Ukraine, he turns around and makes a secret deal.”

Tapper requested, “So a motion to vacate tomorrow?”

Gaetz mentioned, “I do intend to file a motion to vacate the Speaker McCarthy this week. I think we need to rip off the band-aid. The one thing everybody has in common is no one trusts McCarthy. He lied to Biden, he lied to House conservatives.”
