Rep. Matt Gaetz is facing the wrath of Republicans who want to see him punished for leading the successful effort to oust Speaker Kevin McCarthy from his leadership post on Tuesday.
At least two Republican lawmakers are mulling over crafting different expulsion resolutions, a measure requiring 2/3 of the chamber’s support to be successful, aimed at Mr. Gaetz.
Rep. Dusty Johnson of South Dakota told CNN on Thursday that if Reps. Jim Jordan of Ohio and Steve Scalise of Louisiana, both vying to become the next speaker, can’t figure out how to “deal with that saboteur,” Mr. Gaetz, there will just be “another blow-up.” “I think if we had stayed together in the meeting, I think that you would have seen fists thrown, and I’m not being dramatic when I say that there are a lot of raw emotions right now,” he said. “I think it was best to let folks go back home, decompress a little bit, then come back together.”
