Twisting McCarthy's nuts

MAGA Republicans forced McCarthy to call for an impeachment of Joe Biden.  And that just gave them more power.  Didn't anyone ever tell McCarthy the bully wins when you give in?
But even after the announcement, Republican Representative Matt Gaetz again raised the possibility of removing McCarthy under the terms of a deal that allowed him to become House speaker, which gave any one member the power to call a vote for his removal.

Gaetz said McCarthy could face multiple votes on motions to “vacate the chair” for failing to comply with a secret agreement that allowed him to secure the House’s gavel in January.

In a Tuesday speech on the House floor, the Florida Republican raised the stakes on his criticism of McCarthy, arguing that the speaker was "out of compliance" with the agreement that he made with conservatives earlier this year. Gaetz later called for votes for McCarthy to be replaced should he push for a stopgap measure to continue funding the government past Sept. 30 in order to avert a shutdown.

"We're going to have them regularly. I don't anticipate them passing immediately," Gaetz told reporters of potential votes for McCarthy's ouster. "But I think that if we have to begin every single day in Congress with a prayer, the pledge, and the motion to vacate, then so be it."
