Again Proving He Will Be McCarthy’s Biggest Headache, Gaetz Is ‘Undecided’ On Omar Vote

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) said on Monday night he is undecided on if he will vote to block Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) from sitting on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, once again creating a whip count problem for Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) who’s vowed to oust the Democrat from her committee seat.

As the headline says, proving again.

This guy shouldn’t even be in the House, but now he gets to muck up everything he doesn’t like with the help of his caucus.

My only regret is that Gaetz and McCarthy were born too late to be played by Tony Randall and Jack Klugman in a future comedy based on this congress. Well, okay, one of my regrets.

Again Proving He Will Be McCarthy’s Biggest Headache

To be fair, he’s got the biggest head, so it makes sense.

Rep. George Santos (R-NY) also indicated he might muck things up further for McCarthy

How does georgis-boy separating himself from his committee assignments affect a vote on Omar? Qevin still needs Georgie and Georgie needs Qevin.

The thing you always have to remember about Matt Gaetz is that Qevin McQarthy remains perfectly welcome to go fuck himself.

I asked this before but does anyone else think that refusing to seat Omar on the Foreign Relations Committee is childish and petty? I mean her comments were made 4 years ago, right? Is she still making antisemitic comments on Twitter?
Does McCarthy really think it’s professional to allow members of Congress to post death threats on Twitter?

McQarthy allowed HFC to humiliate him like an S&M slave to get the gavel.
Not surprisingly, they don’t think the paddlings are supposed to stop now that that vote’s been taken.
It’s just the way they roll.

Excuse me, but making statements less than worshipful of Israel is not anti-semitism.

Then why are you spreading the anti-semitism trope?

I’d rather it were.
House Freedom Caucus is such a retch inducing name for them.

She is/was accused of being an anti-Semitic. The comments/tweets that she put out there were right after she was first seated in Congress. She apologized, and I haven’t seen, heard of her continuing to do so since then.
For a bunch of Christians who are suppose to believe in forgiveness…well petty is petty does.
