  1. I don’t. I think Rep. Gaetz’s personal politics came before the business of the nation, and his motivation was his dislike of McCarthy. According to the vote, he didn’t do this according to any republican consensus, thereby creating a very divisive situation. Maybe I’d be singing a difficult tune if I thought Rep. McCarthy was a poor Speaker, but I don’t - I feel he is an able administrator with an ability to realistically work with the other half of the House. Whomever is elected Speaker next isn’t likely to move any faster, and certainly not as fast as many on this comment train (as well as this gang of eight) since the House is so evenly split. I almost hope Rep. Jordan doesn’t take/get the job since he’ll face the same realities McCarthy had, but this time with an 8-person gun to his head that might fire if he’s not performing to their expectations - or someone on this republican ‘squad’ has a personal vendetta against him. This one-person rule about taking down a Speaker needs to change. Gaetz needs to have his leash yanked or even considered for expulsion. Newt’s assessment and solution of this grenade toss was right on, in my opinion.

  2. I don’t think this was attack on Rep. McCarthy was warranted - along with 210 of the former Speaker’s colleagues. I think Rep.
