Erickson Blasts “Poo-Flinging Monkey” Matt Gaetz

“The seal clappers will clap for Matt Gaetz exposing McCarthy as the rest of us know McCarthy is, but McCarthy will stay in place. They’ll say it was all inevitable anyway, but McCarthy had thus far been willing to add conservatives to key committees, advance their plan for cuts, etc.

“Conservatives were getting something. If McCarthy gets Democrats to support him, conservatives will go from getting something to getting nothing at all.

“So what’s the point? It’s all messaging with no substance — Gaetz gets to say McCarthy is the Democrats’ Speaker, when McCarthy (the most transactional man in the House) will rightly be able to declare himself a bipartisan Speaker betrayed by the right.

“So the question is how should the government stay open: cut or growing? Gaetz is ensuring government grows and has no guarantee he can do anything to McCarthy except strengthen the Democrats’ hand.

“Meanwhile, the clock ticks on the next government shutdown and Gaetz has become a monkey flinging poo, holding the House and country hostage to a personal grievance against the Speaker masked as some sort of principle.” – Right wing commentator Erick Erickson, via email.
