House Republicans Still FUMING Over Matt Gaetz Causing So Much Chaos

According to new reports, Republicans in the House are STILL fuming over the chaos that Matt Gaetz caused a year ago by ousting then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy. That chaos has now prevented Republicans from getting anything at all done in the last year, and they now worry that voters are going to take it out on them in November – as they should. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

According to a new report, plenty of Republicans in Washington DC and the House of Representatives are still furious over last year's speaker fight that, of course saw Kevin McCarthy ousted as the Speaker by Matt Gaetz and seven other Republicans replaced, of course, by Mike Johnson. It's been a year since that happened. We actually passed the one year anniversary this week, and republicans in DC in the house are still off. And here's the best part of it. It's not just the people who didn't want McCarthy ousted that are off, even the ones who wanted him kicked out are off that it happened because of the chaos that Matt Gaetz caused. Because let's not forget all of this. 100% of it was started by Matt Gaetz because Kevin McCarthy would not kill the Ethics Committee's investigation into gates. So Gates got his retaliation, and now everybody's off because it caused so much chaos that continues to this day. Let me read you some of these quotes.

Republican representative Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania said they took an entire branch of government offline for three weeks when we had two wars raging overseas. It was a very dark day in American history. Hell, even James Comer said quote, it caused a lot of hard feelings, and we wasted several weeks. The report goes on. One of the eight house Republicans who led the charge against McCarthy now admits little has changed. And when asked if current house speaker Mike Johnson has done a good job since then, he replied with a blunt no before adding the speakership reveals who the person is. Mike Lawler said this in the history of politics, it was the single stupidest thing I've ever seen. Republican Max Miller said this, it was one of the worst things that had ever happened in congressional history. Okay, now, now that that's a little extreme, like the worst thing, nah, probably not.

But anyway, continues those eight people who voted to remove Speaker McCarthy put themselves before the country, and we're still dealing with the ramifications 'cause of that. They're horrible humans. Okay? Now that part I agree with. They are horrible humans, just not for that reason. But here's the thing, ever since Mike Johnson replaced Kevin McCarthy as speaker, and this is what they're freaking out about, they've done nothing, right? We just narrowly avoided another government shutdown last Friday. So they barely have kept the government running. Um, they, they haven't really passed legislation. They're actually about to go on their recess that's going to last until the election. They've done nothing. They, they tried to,

You know, uh, impeach Biden, but even that fail, nothing has happened. They have been complete and told her failures total failure. Excuse me. And that is why the Republicans are freaking out right now, because that chaos that started a year ago never went away. The animosity, the anger, all of it is still there, and it is preventing Congress from being able to do its job. And when Congress doesn't do its job, the public takes notice and they're gonna take it out on them this coming November.
