More chaos in MAGAland. This is really becoming very interesting to watch. Americans are living in history making times. The Republicans have sent their people home for a week to cool off. They'll return next Tuesday to determine how many still have their heads up their own, or Trump's, asses.
MAGA Republicans Are Bitterly Divided Over McCarthy’s Ouster
The vote to remove McCarthy from the speakership has led to name-calling, finger-pointing, and no clear path forward for the GOP
THE OFFICE OF House Speaker is officially empty, and the Republican Party is in a state of chaos.
On Tuesday, Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) became the first House Speaker ever to be fired from the position. Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) brought a motion to oust him on Monday, and then he and seven other Republicans voted to ditch the California congressman a day later. The rest of the party was not happy, and in some cases visibly distraught, after the GOP left itself with no leader and no clear path forward.
Politico reported that a group of Republicans huddled together in prayer on the House floor following the vote, and that Rep. Ann Wagner (R-Mo.) even appeared to be crying. Rep.

Chip Roy (R-Texas) responded to criticism from Gaetz with some choice verbiage. “Some of our brothers and sisters — particularly in the, you know, MAGA camp, I think — particularly enjoy the circular firing squad,” he told The Blaze. “You want to come at me and call me a RINO, you can kiss my ass. You go around talking your big game and thumping your chest on Twitter. Come in my office and have a debate motherfucker.” ...
...Jeannine Pirro added on The Five that she is “furious” and that “what we’ve got is total chaos when the Republicans are playing out their infighting on national television in a historic way instead of fighting Joe Biden’s policies.” Diehard MAGA host Mark Levin added that if Republicans lose the next election, the blame should be placed at the feet of Gaetz and his allies: “You need to put your country ahead of your own personal hatred. Man, you gotta get control of it, brother. But he won’t. If we lose the next election, in part, it’s on these guys. And I don’t just mean the House and the Senate. I mean the presidency.” ...
