When Rep. Matt Gaetz and his band of political misfits cashiered former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy last year, they assured us they were leading Republicans out of the wilderness and finally into the promised land.
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, R-La., and the House Republican leadership meet with reporters following a closed-door Republican strategy session as Johnson pushes towards separate votes on aid for Israel and Ukraine, at the Capitol in Washington, Tuesday, April …
In fact, when current Speaker Mike Johnson received the gavel, he invoked Moses, whose visage gazes down on the House floor in probable disgust from the balcony above. Mr. Johnson would later invoke Moses in an astonishing speech that leaked online about his ascension to House leadership. Pro tip: When you are trying to sort out the voices in your head, beware of any voices that sound like Matt Gaetz. To be sure, God works through some curious people. But even God’s sense of humor has its limits.
Against the wishes of a majority of Republicans in the House, the House voted to send $60 billion more for President Biden’s war in Ukraine — even as Congress refuses to stop the invasion at our own southern border. Hilariously, Mr. Gaetz is suddenly as responsive as a scam roofer in a Florida retirement community after he has been caught.
