“File The F*cking Motion”: Kevin McCarthy Melts Down Amid Threats from GOP Members to Remove Him as House Speaker

Tensions within the Republican Party reached a boiling point this week as Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) publicly challenged House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, accusing him of failing to deliver on campaign promises that allowed him to assume his leadership role in January.

In a closed-door meeting with Republican House members on Thursday, McCarthy reportedly lost his cool amid growing murmurs of discontent and open threats to his leadership, according to The Hill.

“If you want to file a motion to vacate, then file the f*cking motion,” McCarthy snapped, according to Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL).

“I showed frustration in here because I am frustrated,” McCarthy admitted to reporters after the GOP meeting. He further lamented that the Defense Department appropriations bill couldn’t be placed on the floor, but failed to address the underlying issues causing the rift within his party.

McCarthy’s meltdown prompted a response from Gaetz.

“Instead of emotionally cursing, maybe the Speaker should just keep his word from January on balanced budgets, term limits, and single-subject spending bills,” Gaetz told The Hill.

Gaetz doubled down on his attack on McCarthy in an X post, “I warned everybody in December of last year. Speaker McCarthy believes in NOTHING except money and power. In football, when the team isn’t winning the games it’s supposed to, they fire the coach. In business, when a company does not match its projected earnings, then the board gets rid of the CEO. I’ve had enough McFailure. Have you?”
