As Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) launches his rebellion against House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), multiple reports indicate that House Republicans are looking to get rid of the Florida congressman altogether.

According to a report from CNN, an unnamed House Republican said that the caucus wants Gaetz gone — and that they may use the findings from the ongoing Ethics Committee investigation into the Florida congressman to oust him.

    I’ll believe that when I see it. The GOP never hold their own accountable, no matter how awful or obvious the crime.

    The absolute furthest they will go, and only when given no other choice, is “we investigated ourselves and decided there was no wrongdoing.”

      Susan Collins will be “very concerned” but will eventually agree on no wrongdoing. 🙄

      Dude above you pointed out Madison Cawthorne–they hold their own accountable iff they feel their power is threatened.

      Eh, if they really want to they can. See Madison Cawthorne. I’m sure there’s some dirt about Gaetz floating around beyond the human trafficking and gay sex asphyxiation stuff.

    You could just send the guy to prison over his human trafficking offense, instead of turning a blind eye to it.

    Someone’s going to leak a video of Gaetz that they’ve been holding back.

    I think the Bobo handjob video was organic, but I’m sure they have material on her as well.

    Florida Beavis is about to get kicked off spray tan island. Would absolutely love to see him backstab all his “friends” in his exit video from the banana boat. You can do it Matt!

      Hey now, let’s not have that kind of rhetoric around here.

      Beavis is way more likeable.

        100%. It’s clunkier to call him Florida Butt Head though, cause some might assume I’m just some boomer slingin my top tier insults. This pictures so unsettling but it really is worth 1000 words. Thank you for the correction!

    Isn’t this the venmoing teenagers for sex guy? Pretty sure this is the venmoing teenagers for sex guy. Shouldn’t be hard to bury him at all if they got their thunbs out of their butts.
