Oh gee, Imagine that.
House RINOs Reportedly Looking to Expel Matt Gaetz Based on the Findings from the Ongoing Ethics Committee Investigation: “We Want Him Out”
A faction within the Republican Party is reportedly considering the expulsion of Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL) based on anticipated findings from an upcoming House ethics report.
Multiple unnamed House Republicans have reportedly stated that they want Gaetz gone from the caucus.
A recent report from CNN cited an unnamed House Republican stating that the caucus “wants Gaetz gone,” indicating a willingness to use an ongoing Ethics Committee investigation into Gaetz as grounds for his expulsion. This investigation is reportedly probing allegations of sexual misconduct, illicit drug use, or other misconduct by Gaetz.
“We want him out,” the unnamed member reportedly said.
Fox News White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich further reported that House Republicans are actively preparing to oust Gaetz, pending the outcome of the Ethics Committee report. “No one can stand him at this point,” Heinrich quoted another unnamed House Republican as saying, describing Gaetz as “a smart guy without morals.”
House GOP members are seeking to quickly expel Gaetz if the ethics report comes back with findings of guilt.
Following threats to vacate McCarthy, one tells me “No one can stand him at this point. A smart guy without morals.”

Rep. Paulina Luna (R-FL) weighed in, stating, “TO be clear: It is UNETHICAL to threaten to expel a member for following and using house rules that the ENTIRE conference agreed too. This game works both ways just FYI to any MEMBER who thinks they can blackmail a legislator into not legislating.”
Fox News reported: “The House Ethics Committee has been investigating Gaetz since 2021 on allegations, including campaign finance violations as well as claims of taking bribes and using drugs – accusations the congressman has vehemently denied. Gaetz also denies allegations leaked from a Justice Department sex trafficking probe said to have involved an underage girl.”
It can be recalled The New York Times published a hit piece on popular Trump-supporter Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) saying the Florida Congressman was under investigation for dating a 17-year-old girl.
The Gateway Pundit later spoke with a source close to Matt Gaetz, who told us this NY Times report was completely false. Gaetz is not the target of the investigation. We were also told none of the women he was seeing were underage.
More from Fox News:
House GOP members are preparing a motion to expel Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., amid his renewed threat to pursue a motion to vacate House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
The House Republican members will seek to expel Gaetz if the ethics committee report comes back with findings of guilt, Fox News has learned. One member told Fox News the report is mostly written but does not know what it contains. Yet following threats to vacate McCarthy, the member said of Gaetz, “No one can stand him at this point. A smart guy without morals.”
It takes a two-thirds vote to expel. And Republicans are treading on thin ice with their majority. The House is down to 433 members. It’s unclear where things stand with federally indicted Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y. If you were to have members expelled, retire or die, the majority could be right on the edge for the GOP.
This news comes after Rep. Matt Gaetz threatened to file the motion to vacate House Speaker Kevin McCarthy this week.
Gaetz, a staunch Trump supporter, represents the populist, America-first wing of the party that seeks to challenge the establishment. Gaetz frequently defends traditional conservative values and pushes back against the progressive agenda. His often confrontational and no-holds-barred approach to politics has made him a threat to the establishment.
On Sunday, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) joined ABC’s This Week and CNN’s State of the Union following the vote last night by the US House of Representatives to avert a shutdown with a 45-Day Stop-Gap Resolution that did not fund Ukraine.

Gaetz says this is an “exercise to show the American people who really governs you.” Adding, “I actually think Democrats are going to bail out Kevin McCarthy.”

Speaking on CNN, Gaetz clarified that his filing against the ouster of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is not fueled by personal grievances.
“This isn’t personal, Jake. This is about spending,” Gaetz said Sunday. “This is about the deal Kevin McCarthy made. If Kevin McCarthy didn’t want to keep the deal to return to pre-COVID spending, if he didn’t want to keep the deal to have single subject spending bills, not vote for government spending all up or down at once, then he shouldn’t have made that deal. So this is about keeping Kevin McCarthy to his word. It’s not about any personal animus.”
“If Kevin McCarthy is still the speaker of the House, he will be serving at the pleasure of the Democrats. He will be working for the Democrats. The only way Kevin McCarthy is speaker of the House at the end of this coming week is if Democrats bail them out now, they probably will.”
“I will make no deal with Democrats and concede no terms to them. I actually think Democrats should vote against Speaker McCarthy for free. I don’t think I should have to deal with that.”
I will file a motion to vacate against @SpeakerMcCarthy this week. pic.twitter.com/kFA7X7P2OG

McCarthy Says He Doesn’t Want to Be Part of Republican Team After Passing Continuing Resolution
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy vented publicly against members of his Republican conference Saturday after a stopgap spending bill rode Democratic support to House passage.
The bill passed 335-91, with 209 Democrats and 126 Republicans in support. One Democrat and 90 Republicans voted against it.
After the vote, McCarthy expressed his frustration.
“You can always count on Americans to do what’s right after they’ve exhausted every other option,” McCarthy said.
McCarthy: If you have members of your conference that will not let you vote for appropriations bills and will not vote for a stopgap measure so the only option is to shut down and not pay our troops I don’t want to be a part of that team. pic.twitter.com/iMnyrgxAVb

McCarthy noted that he tried to listen to all of the divergent opinions form his conference in the days leading up to Saturday’s vote.
“I tried every possible way listening to every single person in the caucus,” McCarthy said.
“It was tough, but we got it through,” he said.
McCarthy said the stopgap bill that went down in flames Friday night would “secure our border [and] cut wasteful spending, but I had some members in our own conference that wouldn’t vote for that.”
The bill that passed eliminated aid for Ukraine conservative Republicans opposed as well as spending cuts conservative Republicans had wanted.
“So if you have members in your conference that won’t let you vote for appropriation bills, doesn’t want an omnibus, and won’t vote for a stopgap measure — so the only answer is to shut down and not pay our troops, I don’t want to be a part of that team,” he said.
“I want to be a part of a conservative group that wants to get things done,” he said.'
Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida had repeatedly said that if McCarthy should do what in fact he did – frame a bill that would bypass conservatives and gain support for Democrats – Gaetz would instigate a process to have McCarthy removed as Speaker.
“If somebody wants to make a motion against me, bring it,” McCarthy said, according to NBC. “There has to be an adult in the room.”
“There’s no bill that can pass with one party or the other,” McCarthy said.
“When are you guys gonna get over that it’s alright that you put America first. That it’s alright if Republicans and Democrats joined together to do what is right,” he added.
After the vote on the stopgap bill, Gaetz tried to get the attention of the chair for the day, Republican Rep. Steve Womack of Arkansas, but Womack did not recognize him as the House adjourned until Monday.
Gaetz later said McCarthy’s speakership was “on some tenuous ground.”
Not everyone was abandoning McCarthy.
“I think Kevin McCarthy has done a phenomenal job as speaker. I think he’s been continually underestimated. And here again today, you saw him lead,” Republican Rep. Mike Lawler of New York said. “So at the end of the day, if somebody wants to bring a motion to vacate, that’s their business. But it will be defeated,”
Due to the expectations the stopgap bill would pass the Senate, the House no longer has two weeks off in October. The House will have votes scheduled on Oct. 2-5 and again Oct. 10-13 according to The Washington Post.

McCarthy Reportedly Lied Again – Cut a Side Deal for Ukraine Funding with McConnell and Biden
Earlier today the US House of Representatives passed a last-minute spending bill to keep the government funded for an additional 45 days, narrowly averting a government shutdown that would have commenced at 12:01 a.m. The bill, spearheaded by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), now heads to the Senate, where it is expected to pass.
With a 335-91 vote, the House approved a 45-day temporary funding measure that excludes border security and $6 billion in funding for Ukraine.
The bill includes provisions for disaster relief funds that likely swayed some Democrats to vote in favor.
Shortly after today’s vote news broke that Kevin McCarthy pulled a fast one and made a side deal with GOP Minority leader Mitch McConnell and Joe Biden to fund Ukraine.
Via Steve Bannon on GETTR.
Sure enough. Kevin McCarthy apparently made a side deal and will hold an up-or-down vote to continue to send billions in US taxpayer money to Ukraine for their war with Russia.
McCarthy did not tell House Republicans about the deal until after the continuing resolution passed.
Via Matt Gaetz.
Wow.@SpeakerMcCarthy made a side Ukraine deal with Democrats and didn’t tell House Republicans until after his Continuing Resolution passed.
More deceit. https://t.co/LC91laLyTp

Marjorie Taylor Greene Calls on DOJ to Immediately Prosecute Jamaal Bowman After He Pulls Fire Alarm and Obstructs Congressional Proceeding
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) immediately called on the Biden DOJ to prosecute Democrat Jamaal Bowman using the same law they used to prosecute J6 defendants who were charged with interfering with an official proceeding when they walked in open doors on the US Capitol.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene: Democrat Rep. Jamaal Bowman pulled the fire alarm in the Cannon building this afternoon and interrupted the official proceedings of the House as Republicans worked to keep the government open.
I’m calling on the DOJ to prosecute him using the same law they used to prosecute J6 defendants for interfering with an official proceeding.
The Democrats literally will do anything to shut OUR government down because billions aren’t going to their favorite country: Ukraine.Democrat Rep.

Bowman violated several federal laws with today’s stunt.

Rep. Bowman clearly violated numerous laws including 1512(c)(2) obstruction of an official proceeding. At least 320 Jan 6 defendants including Donald Trump have been charged with this felony count.

Today there are hundreds of Trump supporters who walked inside the open doors of the US Capitol, shook hands with police, and were sentenced to months and years in federal prison.
Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was sentenced to 22 years in prison for the Jan. 6 protests he did not even attend. Tarrio was not even in the District of Columbia at the time.
So where is the FBI? Where is the Biden DOJ? Where is Merrick Garland?

HORRIFYING: Rep. Thomas Massie Exposes Taxpayer-Funded “Transgenic Edible Vaccines” Which Turns Edible Plants Like Lettuce and Spinach Into mRNA Vaccine Factories to Replace mRNA Shots
In a shocking revelation, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) has recently brought to light a deeply concerning issue that should alarm every American citizen. The U.S. government is currently funding research into “transgenic edible vaccines,” a term that sounds like it’s straight out of a dystopian science fiction novel. Yet, it is very much a reality, and it’s happening right under our noses.
The Gateway Pundit reported in 2021 that scientists at the University of California, Riverside, have been experimenting with turning edible plants like lettuce and spinach into mRNA vaccine factories.
According to the press release published by the University of California, the project aims to utilize mRNA technology, similar to that used in COVID-19 vaccines, to turn edible plants into vaccine factories.
The research is funded by a $500,000 grant from the National Science Foundation and has three primary goals:
- To successfully deliver DNA containing the mRNA vaccines into plant cells where it will replicate.
- To demonstrate that plants can produce enough mRNA to rival a traditional vaccine shot.
- To determine the right dosage of the vaccine.
Juan Pablo Giraldo, an associate professor at UCR, is leading the research. He envisions a future where people could grow these transgenic plants in their gardens, and farmers could cultivate entire fields of them.
“Ideally, a single plant would produce enough mRNA to vaccinate a single person,” said Juan Pablo Giraldo.
“We are testing this approach with spinach and lettuce and have long-term goals of people growing it in their own gardens,” Giraldo said. “Farmers could also eventually grow entire fields of it.”
Effectively delivering the genetic material to a plant’s chloroplast, small organs in plant cells that convert sunlight into energy the plant can use, is critical to rolling out the vaccinated food.
“[Chloroplasts are] tiny, solar-powered factories that produce sugar and other molecules which allow the plant to grow,” Giraldo said. “They’re also an untapped source for making desirable molecules.”
The research involves altering the genetic makeup of plants, which could have unforeseen consequences. Genetically modifying edible plants with experimental vaccines for public consumption is the culmination of a dream, the associate professor explained.
“One of the reasons I started working in nanotechnology was so I could apply it to plants and create new technology solutions. Not just for food, but for high-value products as well, like pharmaceuticals,” he said.
