At least two GOP lawmakers expressed support for his removal from the chamber, while another claimed “there’s a reason” no one defended him while he was under a sex trafficking probe.
Reviving past reports of Gaetz’s alleged involvement with a 17-year-old girl, Mullin also painted Gaetz as a noted sexual deviant desperate for media attention. “There’s a reason why no one in the conference came and defended him,” Mullin said. “Because we had all seen the videos he was showing on the House floor—that all of us had walked away —of the girls that he had slept with.
” Mike Lawler, a New York Republican, expressed support for Gaetz’s removal on Wednesday, while Garret Graves, a Louisiana Republican, went so far as to call him a Democratic puppet. “Matt Gaetz just got schooled by AOC and others; he was totally manipulated into doing this,” Graves said Wednesday. “I can’t believe he’s that stupid to be used, to be manipulated by AOC and others to create this outcome.

McCarthy ousted as House speaker in dramatic vote as Democrats join with GOP critics to topple himWASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has been voted out of the job in an extraordinary showdown, a first in U.S. history. The 216-210 vote was forced by a contingent of hard-right conservatives and throws the House and its Republican leadership into chaos. McCarthy’s chief rival, Rep.
