Far right GOP House representatives successfully ousted former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy for the first time in history. Representative Anthony D’Esposito (R-NY) joins Andrea Mitchell to discuss how the chaos on Capitol Hill and the infighting amongst the GOP will impact swing districts in the 2024 election as Republicans attempt to maintain their majority in the House of Representatives. “An egomaniac named Matt Gaetz decided to take out personal issues with the Speaker on the House floor,” D’Esposito said. “This is not what the people of the Fourth Congressional District sent me here to do. They sent me here to govern and that’s exactly what I want to do. But Matt Gaetz is getting in my way.”

Democrats have made hoaxes against Trump a lot like looking for life in space!!! They can't prove a thing with evidence but it's ENDLESS!!!! 😂😂😂😂
Another issue is that tie and that choice of slacks Gaetz chose. If you know youre gonna be all over TV and the internet, please, choose a better suit for the occasion.
Republicans have no leadership, literally.
Tom Cole from Oklahoma for Speaker.
Thought I'd never agree with that blowhard Gingrich on anything, but on this, I do.
The BIG🍎APPLE🍎 is 😬nervous 😬 about an Illiberal butthead from Florida bruising the economy by shutting the Country Down and refusing to pay the 💵bills💵
When will Biden debate RFK.Jr?
The Rise and Fall of the Divided Sates.
Remember when the US was praised for Ali, Elvis & MJ.
Now the US is laughed at for Orange Stupid, school shootings and pandemic mismanagement.
MAGATs and the elected termites believe repeating lies make it true. Let's try it out. I'm a billionaire. Please tell me I'm billionaire to make it true. Nope not yet, say it again.
When you work with evil (gaetz) you get chaos and delusion, Mr D'Esposito. You have a cancer (gaetz) in your conference. I suggest you all work on a cure to get rid of it.
Mr. D’ Esposito – welcome to the Zoo.
It’s clear that Gaetz is an attention seeking, egomaniacal poser. The press should stop following these people around & giving them airtime. Let him go be a talking head on newsmax or something. He’s not in Congress to get anything accomplished.
I guess you should have talked to the other 7 people who helped vote him out. 🤓🧐🥱
Let’s do smthg deliberate so I can move in professionally & intellectually
With scientifically selected peers & privacy, my msnbc pros seem to agree with that direction
I do not understand these GOPites! How is it Gaetz fault? If you create the condition which permit someone to act in a certain way. And when someone does act under the condition which you have created for that someone to act, you turn around and criticize the someone for acting under the condition that you have created for someone to act? It makes no sense. The GOP is the party of "blame somebody else except us"
There are a lot more than "one lunatic" in the MAGA GOP. Representative Anthony D’Esposito (R-NY) has to check his mirror.
the pedophil human trafficking gaetz wants 100% control
How refreshing; a reasonable l normal representative who cares about ALL his constituents! It’s good to see.
The government should be working to help the people. It is not a soap opera for your personal enjoyment. Democrats need to take steps to marginalize MAGA and stop giving Gaetz all of the power in the House of Representatives.
Outlaw Trump-GOP cult. No more damage to American people, their government, constitution, rule of law, democracy.
The hypocrisy and double standards played by these MAGAS really are at the highest level! Everything they do always throws at Democrats, and what is funny, to their fellow MAGAS. Well, no wonder; it's just like birds of the same feather flocking together; these MAGAS do the same! Just like the extreme speaker pro-tempore did, the moment he handled the gavel, he ordered Speaker Emerita Pelosi and former majority leader Steny Hoyer to vacate their office spaces. Was that not a personal vedetta? These MAGAS are so insecure with Democrats, just like their cult leader feels towards President Biden!
He sound more like an old school republican, not a nut job like most turned into.
The voters didn't vote for these Klan Klowns.. The billionaires are funding these idiots, meanwhile, we keep getting poorer and they keep getting rich…
Gaetz is one of the only few to stand up for the American people, and put the Taxpayers and Sovereign nation ahead of the Globalist elites pushing for the Great Reset!!!
Agreed, He should be expelled along with Green and bobbitt and the others…
Ridiculous, VOTE BLUE FOR GROWNUPS 💙🗳️💙
Lets remember that D’Esposito is representing a district Biden won by 14%. I am one of his constituents. Won’t give the guy a hard time cause he is a genuine dude. But if anything, the GOP should be able to elect a speaker outside of the House. Why not Lee Zeldin at that point
Jim Jordan needs to be Expelled and prosecuted
Gaetz pulled a trump move
Come on be serious. Neither one would be qualified because they tried to overturn the election results. We need new leaders and a new look. I feel bad for republicans who still think that Trump is legitimate. I hope they get the right information they need. Our media isn’t doing their jobs. All they want to do is scare people and to make them confused and spread conspiracy theories.
