Matt Gaetz Whines About Not Having A Speaker After He Got Rid Of House Speaker

During an interview on Newsmax this weekend, Matt Gaetz whined about the fact that the House of Representatives has been left without a Speaker of the House, even though he is the one who ousted the former Speaker. Gaetz wants to pretend that he's in Washington to work, but he's doing nothing but causing chaos and gridlock in Congress. He doesn't get to whine about being in this predicament when he knows that he did this to himself. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz is super upset that there is currently no speaker of the house. Matt Gaetz didn't interview with Newsmax over the weekend, actually whining about the fact that there is currently no speaker of the house. Can you imagine? Matt Gaetz tells us what a horrible situation Republicans are in because nobody's in charge. And Matt Gaetz is just as confused as you and I about who's responsible for this. But he thinks overall he is real tired of it. He says, of not having a speaker completely forgetting the fact that he 100% did this to himself. But here is what Matt Gaetz said over the weekend on Newsmax. I don't really understand why trying to move the house into a more conservative position, trying to get a more conservative house speaker would draw the ire of conservatives after having elected Jim Jordan of Ohio, the house speaker designated on Friday.

We took Saturday off, we're taking today off. And I've just learned that pro Tim, Patrick Mahan McHenry will now ensure that we take Monday off and we don't vote. So I'm in this interview with you to turn up the heat on Patrick McHenry and any Republican who would try to delay a floor vote on Jim Jordan. If they don't wanna vote for him, let him do it in public. I'm tired of these closed door private struggle sessions that Republicans have been having. Guys. He's just so sick of it. Poor little Matt, right? Oh, what a horrible situation for Matt to be in. It's not like he did this 100% to himself. Matt. Nobody made you do this, okay? And I get it right. You're looking around, you see your whole life just totally falling apart. But you did this to yourself, Matt. You can't just go out there and keep whining and telling everybody, oh, this is unfair.

What a horrible situation to be in. Oh, woe is me. When you are the one who made these stupid decisions to kind of torpedo everything in your life. I mean, you were kind of riding high, right, bud? You had everything going your way. You didn't need to blow it all up, but you got greedy. You wanted more than what you had because you were never content with it. You thought you could have your cake and eat it too. And now those decisions that you and you alone made are coming back to bite you in your behind. So I don't care that you're sad. I don't care that you're upset that, oh, everybody's taken Monday off. Oh, well, Jim Jordan, by the way, doesn't even have the votes. So what are you wanting to

Happen? Are you wanting people to go into work today to vote Jim Jordan down? And then your bestie in Congress gets to look like a total buffoon because that's what would happen. And then that's just gonna give you more reason to go crying to the media saying, oh, everything is falling apart. Oh, I'm gonna cry. Yeah, you should. But you should also remember that you did this to yourself. And Matt, I hope it was worth it.
