Rep. Matt Gaetz’s decision to team up with every Democrat and a few other Republicans and boot Rep. Kevin McCarthy from the speakership looks like a purely destructive act. It’s likely to hurt the GOP, help the Democrats, and harm conservative causes, not because McCarthy is the savior of the party or the champion of conservatism but because it is simply an act of chaos.
You could read this as a real-life instance of the most famous article from the parody site Clickhole: Gaetz’s first good point was that he didn’t make Congress dysfunctional. Congress, for more than a decade, has abandoned the budget process, failed to pass appropriations bills to fund the government, and thus governed by omnibus bills and continuing resolutions. This results in rushed policymaking, closed-door deal-making, and a total lack of transparency and deliberation.
Gaetz makes another good point about fundraising. After Gaetz was rightly excoriated for fundraising off of his pointless removal of Speaker McCarthy, he pointed out that the standard GOP fundraising process is hardly clean. The alternative to grassroots fundraising seems to be asking your lobbyist friends to assemble their clients to deliver $10,000 PAC checks.Here is Matt Gaetz blasting members of Congress for being owned by “lobbyists and special interests” right before McCarthy was ousted.
