| The challenges Matt Gaetz faces after leading House into uncertainty |
| 2023-11-27 |
| [WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Rep. Matt Gaetz’s (R-FL) recent success in leading the ouster of former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has catapulted him further into the national spotlight, but the path ahead is fraught with challenges as voters in Florida appear to be scaling back their support. Gaetz’s journey from Florida state politics to a powerful force in the House has been marked by both victories and controversies, with the congressman known as an outspoken conservative firebrand. His 1st Congressional District in Florida's panhandle is one of the most red in the state, easily winning his reelection bids since being elected in 2016. This year, Gaetz launched his most controversial and consequential move yet, introducing the motion to vacate that ended in the House stripping McCarthy of his post in a 216-210 vote, marking the first time ever that a speaker was fired from the job. |

| #4 This reads like a RINO inspired hit piece. A light hit, like Nancy Kerrigan in the kneecaps. |

| #3 Its time to run the McCarthy's and the rest of the RINOs out of DC. If we are going to break the cycle of corruption and cronyism it needs to happen. Once the deadwood are out we need to force term limits. Clean out the vermin in DC. |
