House Freedom Caucus asks McCarthy to try to remove Pelosi as speaker
Source: Politico
In a letter Friday, the far-right group asked McCarthy to file and bring up a privileged motion by July 31 to vacate the chair and end Nancy Pelosis authoritarian reign as Speaker of the House.
Speaker Pelosis tenure is destroying the House of Representatives and our ability to faithfully represent the people we are here to serve, they write. Republicans, under your leadership, must show the American people that we will act to protect our ability to represent their interests.
The motion is all but guaranteed to fail in the Democratic House, but it signals a stewing anger on the right towards the speaker. The Freedom Caucus letter indicates that McCarthy would need to initiate the motion, and if he were to do so, it would further escalate partisan acrimony in the House that has remained high, and occasionally gotten personal, since Jan. 6.

(2,155 posts)Trump, with the support of the Congressional GOP, attempted to overthrow the government with violence. This is the truth of the matter, and the closer it gets to exposing that truth, the more the GOP will squawk, flail, threaten, lie, block, etc.. And crazier. Which is what this is - a good sign that they know all to well that they can't cover up their attempted coup any more. I will bet money they will try a walk out. And no doubt Ms. P will get more threats, too.

He depends on a tiny SS check, Medicare, Medicare, meals on wheels and a reverse mortgage. Go figure. He thinks Pelosi will take it all and his BuyBull. Whenever I try to talk to him, he defaults to What about Pelosi. Last attempt to educate him, he has no idea who McConnell is, never heard of McCarthy. I am sorry, but there should be basic knowledge to be able to vote for leaders of the country that affect us all. He lives in Georgia, that Stole the election, but voted for Marginal Trailer Queen. They all have been brain washed that Pelosi and Hillary are Satans daughters. Fox and Rusty Limpballs are Gods chosen voices.
