Rep. Kevin McCarthy (RINO-CA) was the subject of a showdown vote in the lower chamber which identified Republican Loyalists and RINOs as well as a possible handful from the Left who have not bought into the current radical wokeism.

McCarthy shortest serving Speaker since 1876.

This from thelibertydaily.

These are the 11 Republicans who voted to move forward the process to remove Kevin McCarthy as speaker of the house: Good, Gaetz, Crane, Mace, Rosendale, Davidson, Spartz, Burchett, Biggs, Buck, and Corey Mills.

This story is fluid. More information will follow asap on Def-Con News.

Congressman Gaetz is a member of the hardline conservative GOP faction that has, for months, warned Mr. McCarthy it would introduce a motion to vacate, a procedural tool, to attempt to oust Mr. McCarthy from his office if their concerns about specific items of government overspending were not acknowledged.

Those threats escalated over the weekend after Mr. McCarthy relied on communists/globalists to provide the necessary votes to fund the government.

Announcing his motion, Mr. Gaetz said on the House floor that he was:

[D]eclaring the office of Speaker of the House of Representatives to be vacant, and resolved that the office of Speaker of the House of Representatives is hereby declared to be vacant.

McCarthy responded to Mr. Gaetz’s motion online, writing on X:

Bring it on.

McCarthy agreed to a change in House rules to allow just one member to move such a motion when he made a deal with the conservative faction to secure his election as the 55th House Speaker on January 7th.

A motion to vacate is a rare and strong procedural tool that has only been used twice in the past century against Republican speakers.

On Sunday, the day after Congressional lawmakers averted a government shutdown, Rep. Gaetz pointed to the 45-day continuing resolution (CR) to fund the government as the reason for his move to vacate McCarthy’s office.

Gaetz said on Sunday that since then, McCarthy:

Has been in brazen repeated material breach of that agreement.

Further:

This agreement he made with Democrats to really blow past a lot of the spending guardrails we had set up is a last straw.

The Florida representative also claimed that he had learned overnight that:

McCarthy had a secret deal with Democrats on Ukraine.

Hours before filing his resolution to vacate the speaker’s office, Gaetz demanded that McCarthy disclose the details of the supposed deal the speaker is accused of making with the White House to bring forward legislation to help fund the war in Ukraine during funding negotiations.

Gaetz said earlier:

It is becoming increasingly clear who

the speaker of the House already works for

and it’s not the Republican Conference. 

Mr. McCarthy denied any such deal, telling reporters at the Capitol earlier in the day that there was:

[N]o side deal [on Ukraine and that he was] focused on doing the work that has to be done.

He added that he had not spoken with Biden.

On Monday, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre declined to explain Biden’s remarks made over the weekend, which appeared to suggest that communists/globalists had reached a new deal with Mr. McCarthy on Ukraine.

When a reporter asked Biden if he could trust Mr. McCarthy in future deal-making, he responded:

We just made one about Ukraine. So, we’ll find out.

Ms. Jean-Pierre declined to delve into the specifics of what Biden meant and refrained from commenting on Gaetz’s remarks.

She told reporters at a White House press briefing:

I’ll leave Matt Gaetz to speak for himself.

Jean-Pierre added:

I’m certainly not going to go beyond what [was] said. What we know is that there’s bipartisan support for this deal.

Again, Speaker McCarthy was on the air multiple times yesterday saying that he wants to—he certainly wants to continue support for Ukraine to get the weapons that they need.

Final thoughts: About damn time, Mr. Gaetz.

McCarthy double-crossed his Republican caucus, then was fittingly stabbed in the back by the communists/globalists. Now, will he be left to bleed out or will the RINOs cauterize the wound?
