If McCarthy was an underage girl Gaetz would’ve done it already
Matt Gaetz, the guy that was stealing underaged girls license when the dmv was closed for his sex trafficking friend? After a group phone call with 3 of is underage girlfriends that were federal witnesses they somehow decided not to testify.
The same douche who crashed a SCIF for some BS performative stunt for his teabagging fanbois.
Yea, that sack of dog shit.
Until our dreams come true, there's always the Nobody Speak video:
Thanks for this, genius really!
Was blasting this on my drive today. Such a catchy song.
Interactions like this are why dueling should be encouraged in Congress.
Or docking. You know, reach arcross the aisle and all..
I like it better when they say silly things to each other. More fodder for the late night comics. Sad that Colbert has covid again :(
I mean, I wouldnt mind if a capitol janitor opens a broom closet to find Gym and Gaetz wrapped up in a post-coital bliss (as long as said janitor is live streaming).
Honestly, this is better than the alternative of them passing shitty laws and getting things done.
Still trying to pin this on the Democrats, I see.
The GOP shot themselves in the foot and are complaining that the Democrats didn’t dive in front of the bullet.
I love, just absolutely LOVE the strategy they've crafted: WHY DIDN'T 200 DEMS VOTE FOR OUR SPEAKER?
rofls... and every vote just goes further away from the GOP getting their shit together in any way shape or form. So glad the party of insanity is getting bitten in the ass by their own crazies for once, they completely made this bed for themselves, shit in it, and now can't figure out why it's so gross.
I want more of these people that keep trying that stupid fucking narrative to be asked how many Republicans voted for Pelosi.
Well the GOP thought that they had hired the Democrats as bodyguards, but it turns out that they didn't actually hire them and they aren't actually bodyguards.
“Remember, it was the crazy eight led by Matt Gaetz and every single Democrat that put us into this situation.
McCarthy just CAN NOT stop himself from trying to blame the Democrats for the Republicans’ dysfunction, even after doing so pissed the Dems off so badly they refused to save his job.
He is a total shithead just like all of the GOP. They would be whooping it up if the tables were turned.
They say shit like this to try to maintain party discipline, but their tactical stubbornness has made them impossible to lead. Now some fat fucking chickens are coming home to roost.
LOL, it's a cat fight.
I’m just amused that Kevin thinks that Matt is going to start listening to him now, after everything that’s happened. Like… wat. Lmao
Buying popcorn futures for this shit show.
What an absolute shit show. You love to see it.
“Sit your ass down,” McCarthy said, according to the source, prompting Gaetz to “say something back.”
I wanna know what Gaetz said back, but apparently no one's repeating that.
McCarthy scabbing during the SAG-AFTRA strike, acting the part of, "Guy With a Spine."
I'm no fan of McCarthy, or any GOP, but good for him telling that little shit to sit his ass down! Wish I could have seen that.
Yeah, Gaetz is feeling so owned after embarrassing McCarthy on the national stage.
“He gets his Irish up sometimes,” Gaetz added.
Do you want to get punched? Because that's how you get punched.
But nevertheless when trouble would press Clancy Lowered the boom!
Guess the clown act is wearing thin.
Runs deep though.
Why don't you go venmo a 15 year old money for sex again, Matthew.
The article mentions ‘the crazy eight’. I’m surprised now one has labeled them ‘The Hateful Eight’. Yet.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) scolded Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) during a closed-door GOP conference meeting Thursday, telling the Florida Republican to sit down when he tried to interrupt McCarthy’s remarks.
The interaction came as House Republicans met for almost four hours to consider possible paths forward as the conference struggles to coalesce around a candidate for Speaker after Gaetz led a group of eight Republicans who joined with Democrats to oust McCarthy.
The conference nominated Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) for the post, but he has failed on two floor votes to secure the gavel.
At one point, while speaking at the mics during the gathering, McCarthy mentioned Gaetz by name, according to a source in the room.
“Sit your ass down,” McCarthy said, according to the source, prompting Gaetz to “say something back.”
Remember, it was the crazy eight led by Matt Gaetz and every single Democrat that put us into this situation.”
