House Republicans may move to oust Gaetz if ethics committee returns findings of guilt.
House Republicans are preparing a motion to expel Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., after the legislator doubled down on his call to oust House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., «this week,» after McCarthy’s decision to look to Democrats for help in passing a stopgap spending bill to avoid a government shutdown.
The House GOP will look to boot Gaetz if an ethics committee report determines he is culpable of anything, Fox News reported. After Gaetz stated that he would look to expel McCarthy from his seat, one House Republican told White House correspondent and Fox anchor Jacqui Heinrich, «No one can stand him at this point. A smart guy without morals.»
A frequent critic of McCarthy, Gaetz said during a Sunday CNN appearance that it was time to remove McCarthy.
