'Nobody to blame but themselves' House GOPer rips 'Gaetz and 7 useful idiots' for Congress 'chaos'

Six months after former Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-California) was ousted as House speaker following a "motion to vacate" triggered by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Florida), his successor, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) is in danger of being ousted from that position as well.

This time, the "motion to vacate" has been introduced by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia), and Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Kentucky) and Paul Gosar (R-Arizona) have joined Greene in threatening Johnson with possible removal as speaker. It remains to be seen, however, what will happen if Greene's "motion to vacate" comes up for a full House vote.

Rep. Marc Molinaro (R-New York) is calling Greene out. During a CNN appearance, a frustrated Molinaro declared that Greene's "constant effort to hold the Congress hostage has to come to an end." And he isn't the only Republican congressman who is expressing frustration with all the chaos that has been plaguing the GOP's narrow House majority.

Rep. Mike Lawler (R-New York), during a Thursday, April 18 interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper, pointed the finger at Gaetz.

Lawler told Cooper, "Some of these folks have nobody to blame but themselves for why Speaker Johnson's hand in negotiations has been weakened. It's their actions that have done that. I look at this very simply: In October, the House was thrown into chaos by Matt Gaetz and seven useful idiots that teamed up with him within the Republican Conference and 208 Democrats. And at this moment — when you see what happened in the aftermath of vacating the chair and Israel attacked in a terrorist attack a week later, to do that again would be detrimental to the country and global security."

A foreign aid package that includes military aid for Ukraine and Israel may come up for a full House vote this Saturday, April 20. And Lawler, on CNN, expressed confidence that "the foreign aid bill will pass."

Lawler told Cooper, "It must pass. The United States has an obligation as leader of the Free World to support our allies at this most critical juncture and to make it clear to our adversaries that we will not tolerate their actions and what they have done to undermine and destabilize the Free World."
