BREAKING: Far-right Rep. Matt Gaetz has filed a “motion to vacate” in the
House — a vote on whether to keep or remove Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of
the House that is up for a vote TODAY.

Add your name to my petition if you agree Democrats should vote to kick
McCarthy out of the Speaker’s office.

John, you
can always count on Kevin McCarthy to do the right thing — only after he’s
tried to do literally everything else.

That’s the message I delivered on MSNBC’s Morning Joe:

McCarthy had tried everything to placate the far-right fringe of his
caucus while refusing to work with Democrats ahead of an impending
government shutdown last Saturday.

Meaningless messaging bills. A bogus impeachment inquiry. Lurching from
crisis to crisis.

And finally, on the edge of a shutdown at 12:01 am Sunday morning,
McCarthy relented — kicking the can down the road for 45 days.

Here’s what I have to say about that: We need a Congress that works. One
that can fund itself for more than 45 days at a time.

But with Donald Trump leading the party and Kevin McCarthy leading the
House, our Congress is completely dysfunctional.

McCarthy is the weakest Speaker in the history of the country. He’s more
concerned with remaining in Donald Trump’s good graces — even if it means
turning a blind eye to his abuses of power and inciting a violent
insurrection against our government on January 6.

Now, far-right Rep. Matt Gaetz has filed a “motion to vacate” —
essentially, a vote to kick McCarthy out of the Speaker’s office.

I don’t have anything good to say about Matt Gaetz, not his politics, not
his ethics, nothing. But this much is true:

No one trusts Kevin McCarthy.

McCarthy broke his word with the president over the debt ceiling deal.

His own conference doesn’t trust him. And Democrats can’t trust a word
that comes out of his mouth.

He doesn’t stand for anything other than the desire to hold onto that
Speaker’s gavel.

[ [link removed] ]That’s why I’ll be voting to remove Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the
House today. Join me by adding your name to my urgent petition — we are
voting TODAY.

McCarthy has got to go. We can’t come this close to a default on our debt,
or a government shutdown again. America deserves a Speaker that keeps
their word and has some ability to govern. It’s that simple.
