McCarthy Ousted from Position as Speaker of the House in Historic Vote

McCarthy Ousted from Position as Speaker of the House in Historic Vote

Florida Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz filed a motion against Republican Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy and eight hard-right Republicans joined 208 Democrats in supporting McCarthy’s removal, as 210 Republicans tried and failed to keep the speaker in place. Gaetz accused McCarthy of cutting a secret deal with Biden to fund Ukraine. Republican House Rules Committee member Thomas Massie objected to McCarthy’s removal and said that it was a referendum on the institution and the institution will fail. McCarthy’s ouster may cost Republicans their house majority.

 

Summary by JW Williams

Florida Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz filed a motion against Republican Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy and eight hard-right Republicans joined 208 Democrats in supporting McCarthy’s removal, as 210 Republicans tried and failed to keep the speaker in place.

Gaetz sought McCarthy’s removal after the speaker worked with House Democrats to pass a stopgap spending bill, known as a continuing resolution, to extend government funding through November 17. Tuesday’s vote was the first to remove a House speaker in more than 100 years and the first successful such vote in American history.

Additional funding for Ukraine, a source of outrage on the right, was stripped from the bill. However, Gaetz accused McCarthy of cutting a “secret side deal” with Joe Biden on providing additional funding to Ukraine in the form of a stand alone bill set for a later date. McCarthy denied the existence of any secret deal.

"This Is Political Persecution": Trump Rages, DeSantis 'Won't Extradite'

"This Is Political Persecution": Trump Rages, DeSantis 'Won't Extradite', McCarthy Cries 'Injustice' Over Indictment

Update (2040ET): According to Trump's attorneys he is expected to be arraigned as early as Tuesday, the NY Times gleefully reports.

*  *  *

Update (1827ET):

Trump has responded to the lawsuit, saying in a statement: "This is Political Persecution and Election Interference at the highest level in history."

Full statement:

This is Political Persecution and Election Interference at the highest level in history. From the time I came down the golden escalator at Trump Tower, and even before I was sworn in as your President of the United States, the Radical Left Democrats - the enemy of the hardworking men and women of this Country - have been engaged in a Witch-Hunt to destroy the Make America Great Again movement. You remember it just like I do: Russia, Russia, Russia; the Mueller Hoax; Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine; Impeachment Hoax 1; Impeachment Hoax 2; the illegal and unconstitutional Mar-a-Lago raid; and now this.

The Democrats have lied, cheated and stolen in their obsession with trying to ‘Get Trump,’ but now they’ve done the unthinkable - indicting a completely innocent person in an act of blatant Election Interference.

Never before in our Nation’s history has this been done. The Democrats have cheated countless times over the decades, including spying on my campaign, but weaponizing our justice system to punish a political opponent, who just so happens to be a President of the United States and by far the leading Republican candidate for President, has never happened before. Ever.

Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, who was hand-picked and funded by George Soros, is a disgrace. Rather than stopping the unprecedented crime wave taking over New York City, he’s doing Joe Biden’s dirty work, ignoring the murders and burglaries and assaults he should be focused on. This is how Bragg spends his time!

I believe this Witch-Hunt will backfire massively on Joe Biden. The American people realize exactly what the Radical Left Democrats are doing here. Everyone can see it. So our Movement, and our Party - united and strong - will first defeat Alvin Bragg, and then we will defeat Joe Biden, and we are going to throw every last one of these Crooked Democrats out of office so we can MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

Constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley opined on the indictment in a Thursday interview with Fox News.

"Bragg reportedly has secured his indictment. He has made history, but it is an inglorious moment where even some

Dopey Hakeem Jeffries Hurls Insults, Lies, Slander Against Republicans

HORRIBLE: Dopey Hakeem Jeffries Hurls Insults, Lies, Slander Against Republicans – Talking Q-Anon, Mar-a-Lago, Kangaroo Courts – after McCarthy Voted Speaker (VIDEO)

Published January 7, 2023 at 8:15am 


Early Saturday morning Kevin McCarthy was elected the Speaker of the 118th session of the US House of Representatives on the 15th vote.

McCarthy was able to win the speakership after six GOP holdouts voted present in the 15th vote.

Following McCarthy’s win, Democrat Minority leader Hakeem Jeffries, not known for his brilliance or tact, took to the podium to attack Republicans, Q-anon, Mar-a-Lago, and spout lies about Democrats and substance.

Like a grade school teacher, Hakeem went through the alphabet insulting Republicans.

Blogger's note: There was this asshole leading the charge against a duly elected President inspite of the cheating of the Clinton Democrats.  Did he not take part in the kangaroo court of impeachment of the duly elected President, and not once but twice.  Does this asshole not charge the Trump supporters with the crimes of the Obama/Biden, Pelosi, Schummer crowd?  Believe me if this is the best that the Democrats can do we are in trouble.  As just yesterday he contiued to beat the January 6th dead horse.

Is Muellergate coming?
Let me set the scene...
Special Prosecutor/former FBI Director Robert Muller (left) and former Senator Joseph McCarthy (right)
There's a man on a witch hunt in the halls of power. His red herring: Russian-backed traitors bent on subverting American democracy. He's supported by misguided members of an influential Senate committee. Few dare oppose him. 
Meanwhile, a young Kennedy with potential presidential aspirations waits in the wings as those around him fuel the hysteria. And a former army general in the Republican-controlled White House only dares to speak privately about what's going on. 
The year is 1954. The inquisition is being led by Joseph McCarthy, the chair of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. He enjoys the public support of former Congressman and then-Senator John F. Kennedy’s father, Joseph, while behind closed doors President Ike Eisenhower quietly laments McCarthy’s abuses of power.
