Trump-loving Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz told Fox News' Laura Ingraham Thursday evening that if Democrats strike a deal with Republicans to elect a moderate Republican Speaker, he will resign from the House of Representatives.

"Will you be OK then if there’s ultimately a deal struck with moderate Democrats that give Democrats kind of co-control committees? You’re fine with that?" Ingraham asked.

"No, absolutely not. That will not happen," he said.

"I’m on the floor, Laura. These 212 Democrats are going to vote for Hakeem Jeffries every single time. He is a historic candidate for them. They are not going to cleave off under any circumstance," Gaetz said. "I assure you that if Democrats join up to elect a moderate Republican, I will resign from the House of Representatives."

"That is how certain I am. I can assure your viewers that won’t happen," he claimed.

Steve Scalise is only palpable to the twenty if Scalise accepts every ask they have on every issue and rule changes.

It's MAGA Republicans like Matt Gaetz and his 20 miscreants from the Freedom Caucus who are unwilling and unmovable to vote for Kevin McCarthy, which has thrown the House of Representatives into chaos.

It is this small minority of Christian nationalist cultists that are doing this because they had their fee-fees hurt before the midterm elections.
