@MattGaetz will appear with Trump in Florida on Oct 11, 2023

Recall how McCarthy first condemned trump on Jan 6th--then skedaddled it down to Florida to have his photo taken with Trump a few days later.
Both Trump and McCarthy are fair-weather friends. Now Gaetz will be on Trumps leach.




Trump, Florida Democrats apparently decided Speaker Kevin McCarthy not worth saving
McCarthy was not spared the humiliation of becoming the first speaker in U.S. history to be removed through a so-called motion to vacate.

Trump, who polls say is the leading GOP presidential candidate, had helped McCarthy win the speakership in January after 15 rounds of voting. But Trump did not make a public effort or appeal to spare McCarthy the humiliation of becoming the first speaker in U.S. history to be removed through a so-called motion to vacate filed by Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz.

Gaetz will appear with Trump at a Club 47 USA event at the Palm Beach County Convention Center in West Palm Beach on Oct. 11. Both are expected to speak.

All House Democrats from Florida joined eight Republican House rebels to record the 216 votes necessary to oust McCarthy. The scene in the House of Representatives was seemingly incongruous as liberals and progressives joined what are among the most ardent MAGA members — a minority within a minority that critics have called a fringe of the fringe — that Democrats have often been sharply critical of.

What gives?

Congressional Democrats: McCarthy was an untrustworthy leader

U.S. Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, a Democrat who represents a West Palm Beach-area congressional district, said in an interview prior to the vote that she planned to vote against McCarthy because he has been deceptive.......................................................

1. Why doesn't Gaetz run for Speaker?

Or doesn't Trump think he is good enough?

2. Gaetz knows he can be voted out as Speaker as quick as he had McCarthy voted out and

he will be running for Gov of Florida in 2026 so he needs free time to raise money and campaign. Being speaker would put a damper on his time IMHO.

Trump will help him in Florida.

4. +33.

He'd not last through the House prayer.

3. That's of course assuming Donnie hasn't ended up behind bars by then. Pfffft!

Then, again, Gaetz would be welcome to join him there if Donnie is.
