re: So Gaetz is blaming McCarthy for working with democrats...

I'm just pointing out Gaetz has engaged in a shitty strategy that is going to lose, for virtue signaling points, and then he's going to claim martydom and some sort of symbolic and pyrrhic victory.

I’m not sure he’s going to declare martyrdom.

I can’t really fault him for doing what he said he was going to do if McCarthy failed to honor the agreements he made to become Speaker.

Gaetz is saying the country is going to be lost by continuing down this road and, if it is, he wants his name recorded as having opposed it. Now, there are theatrics in such a move, sure. But I can’t say that what he is doing or saying is out of line or dishonest. I wish more Republicans were like this though I know there aren’t nor is there likely to be.
