The House of Representatives is set to vote on Rep. Matt Gaetz’s (R-FL) motion to Vacate the Chair of Speaker against Kevin McCarthy any moment this afternoon.
The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that Congressman Matt Gaetz’s (R-FL) Motion to Vacate the Chair against House Speaker Kevin McCarthy will reportedly be voted on today during house proceedings. Watch the rest of today’s proceedings live here:
As The Gateway Pundit reported in the late morning, McCarthy expressed concern, saying, “If five Republicans go with Democrats, then I’m out.”
Gaetz threatened to remove Speaker McCarthy last month for being “out of compliance” with the agreement that allowed him to assume his role, not holding the Bidens accountable, and advancing Biden’s inflationary spending, among other things. “Here we are, eight months later, and we haven’t even sent the first subpoena to Hunter Biden,” Gaetz said one week ago on the House floor before calling McCarthy’s announcement of an impeachment inquiry a “rushed and somewhat rattled performance.”
Gaetz even drafted a sweeping subpoena for records that will further reveal Hunter and Joe Biden’s illicit conduct for McCarthy to sign, but he has not.
During yesterday’s House proceedings, Congressman Matt Gaetz officially filed his highly-anticipated Motion to Vacate the Chair against Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
