House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is punching back at members of his own party who are threatening to remove him for not delivering on promises he made in January; promises that secured the speakership votes.
From The Daily Caller:
Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz had criticized McCarthy on Tuesday, giving him a list of demands while threatening a motion for McCarthy to vacate the chair.
“If you want to file the motion,” McCarthy said to his GOP colleagues Thursday. “File the fucking motion.”
McCarthy announced just before Gaetz’s speech Tuesday the Republican Party will move forward with an impeachment inquiry into Biden. However, Gaetz said that is not enough.
Gaetz and other House Republicans have continued to pressure McCarthy to move forward with an impeachment inquiry. The speaker said he now believes there is enough evidence stemming from the House Judiciary Committee and House Oversight Committee to move forward with an impeachment inquiry into the president.
If by next week I am not seeing action from Kevin McCarthy to come into compliance with the deal he made in January, then I wouldn’t bet against seeing motions to vacate the chair regularly until he is removed. pic.twitter.com/iSWvcUWZUW
