Fight in sight between Republicans after the agreement on the “shutdown” SHARE Agence France-Presse

PUT À DAY

SHARING

One of the leaders of the American hard right said on Sunday he wanted to dismiss the Republican president of the House of Representatives, after the latter managed to push back the paralysis of the administration federal government with the support of Democrats.

“I fully intend to file a motion to impeach President (Kevin) McCarthy this week,” Florida MP Matt Gaetz said on CNN.

“Come on -y,” Mr. McCarthy immediately replied on CBS.

“I will survive” to this fratricidal initiative, assured the man who, elected at the cost of numerous negotiations with the Trumpists, had said the day before that he was aware that he was risking his seat.

In a final attempt to avoid the paralysis of the American administration, a resolution proposed by Mr. McCarthy was adopted on Saturday evening by Congress just three hours before the “shutdown”, with the support of Democrats .

With other Trumpist elected officials, Matt Gaetz is campaigning for drastic reductions in state spending. He accused Mr. McCarthy on Sunday of having “lied to the conservatives in the House.”

“Kevin McCarthy's goal was to make several contradictory promises to delay everything [. ..] and in the end, blow away the guardrails in terms of spending,” he accused.

“I believe we need to move forward, with a new leader who we can trust,” he said. “The one thing everyone has in common is that no one trusts Kevin McCarthy,” said Mr. Gaetz.

Mr. McCarthy has his side accused the elected official from Florida of being “more interested in television interviews than in action.”

“He wanted to push us into a shutdown, even threatening his own constituency,” he said. “If he's angry because he tried to force us into a shutdown, and I made sure the administration wasn't shut down, then let's have this argument.”

Kevin McCarthy was elected House speaker on the 15th ballot in January, when Trumpists finally agreed to support him in exchange for huge concessions, including a return to allowing individual lawmakers to call a vote on impeach the Speaker of the House.

A concession that comes back to haunt him today.

If Kevin McCarthy is still Speaker of the House by the end of next week , said Matt Gaetz, this will mean that he will have been supported by the Democrats.

Sunday, progressive elected representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said that she would vote to dismiss Mr. McCarthy, deeming it “very weak” in her post.

“It’s not up to Democrats to save Republicans, especially from themselves,” she said on CNN.
