Widespread reactions to the impeachment of the speaker: from Trump to the White House.
According to Al Jazeera, the removal of the Speaker of the American House of Representatives has met with widespread reactions in this country.
Donald Trump, the former president of the United States, wrote on his personal page on the social network “Truth Social”: “Why are the Republicans always at war with themselves, why don’t they fight the extreme left Democrats who are destroying our country?”
“We need an efficient Congress and we are not responsible for the ruling Republican Party that cannot govern,” said Pramila Jayapul, a Democratic representative of the House. “The Republican Party has shown that it is not capable of governing for a long time.”
“McCarthy was not loyal to any party and would have caused chaos if he had stayed in office,” Republican Representative Nancy Mays said. This Republican representative also added that we want an honest Speaker of the House of Representatives who will fulfill his promises.
“Mike Pence”, the former vice president of the United States, also said: “I am deeply disappointed after the removal of Kevin McCarthy from his position.”
The governor of Florida also said: “I have been against McCarthy for years and he is the only person that Trump supported and that’s why he came to power.”
Republican Representative Kelly Armstrong also said: “McCarthy kept the Republican majority and no one did it better than him.”
Republican Representative Andy Barr said: “Today was a sad day for the conservative movement and the Republican Party.”
In response to the historic dismissal of the Speaker of the US House of Representatives, the White House announced: “We hope that the House of Representatives will elect a new speaker as soon as possible.” Biden is always eager to work in good faith with both the Democratic and Republican parties in Congress. “President Biden looks forward to working with the House of Representatives after fulfilling his responsibility to elect a new Speaker.”
Republican Representative Kelly Armstrong also said: “Until the rules of the House of Representatives are changed, we will remain hostage to a small minority of Republicans.”
The chairman of the parliamentary rules committee also said: “Now a chaotic situation has been created and we have to get out of it.” “There’s a lot of frustration and anger, and maybe it’s time for people to look at other options.”
These reactions took place after the US House of Representatives voted for the removal of Speaker Kevin McCarthy for the first time in the history of this country.
The removal of the Speaker of the US House of Representatives took place following the vote for his impeachment and the positive vote for his inadequacy, and minutes after the announcement of the results of the voting, the US House of Representatives announced the vacancy of the Speaker of the House.
Immediately after the removal of McCarthy, “Patrick McHenry” was announced as the acting speaker of the US House of Representatives.
“McCarthy violated the agreements he made with us last January,” Matt Gates, a Republican and fellow House Speaker, said of the positive vote to remove him. “He paralyzed the House of Representatives and did not consider the draft appropriation bills.” According to Matt Gates, the best way forward for the conservative and Republican representatives, who hold the majority of the House of Representatives, was to advance the election of a new Speaker of the House, which was done.
