Maybe Matt Gaetz should have thought about this before he orchestrated Kevin McCarthy's ouster as Speaker. Matt Gaetz made an appearance on Charlie Kirk's show this Friday and whined that booting George Santos out of the House could possibly cost them their majority:

GAETZ: Our willingness to self-mutilate on these things really impairs our ability to get the job done. So, let's do the math here Charlie. We have a four vote majority, right? Now we've kicked out George Santos. We have a three vote majority.

Congressman Bill Johnson of Ohio has taken a college university presidency. That could knock us down to two, and I don't really think Kevin McCarthy is sticking around long. Every image of his office shows that he's packing things up in boxes, so we could be down to a one seat majority.

And we've got a bunch of these octogenarians in our conference, if God forbid any of them were to cross the rainbow bridge, we would be in a situation where we could literally lose the majority because we were so eager to throw George Santos out before even being convicted.

It is not in accordance with precedent. It is not in accordance with due process, and it is just tactically freaking stupid.

Yeah, that would be a real shame Matt. No one ever said self-awareness was his strong point.
