Two House Republicans have announced their candidacy to replace Kevin McCarthy as Speaker after Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) led the effort to oust him. Andrea Mitchell is joined by Eugene Daniels and Susan Page to discuss how McCarthy’s replacement can govern in a deeply divided GOP. “He is one of the least popular members of Congress, and yet he is the first person in history to manage to oust the Speaker of the House. So for an unpopular guy, he’s managed to do a pretty big thing,” Page says of Gaetz. “And it can’t be dismissed because he heralded enough forces around him to have this result this time.”

Those spineless Republican Rinos need to grow ⚾️⚾️s or get out!!!
When you're for term limits, one bill one vote, accountability and against the swamp – – of course you're going to be hated.
Propaganda
Seems his father will nuy the governor of FLORIDA fir him.
On the contrary, Gaets is one of the best.
Speaking of popularity how you doing MSNBC?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nobody broke in his house to hit him in the head with a hammer LOL😂
Of course MSNBC has to smear Gaetz. And because he has done no wrong except challenge the Democrats, they have to resort to personal insults. How pathetic…
It’s not surprising Matt Gaetz is unpopular among other members of congress. He should wear that as a badge of honor. The swamp is very afraid and should be.
He called out the politicians taking lobbyist money 👍
least popular to congress but the most popular by the American people. Wear it as a badge of honor!!
Fake news
She prevented anyone to vote her out. The only reason she remained there, this was a major contention before McCarthy was voted in that it only would take one person to call on a vote to oust or vote in a new speaker.
I didn't Link know the guy from the Mod Squad was still around???
And MSNBC is one of the least popular news outlets.
I, of course, use the term 'news' loosely as every adjective you use makes you more and more just an opinion puff piece.
I used to watch Fox then MSNBC to find the median and figure out the actual truth but sadly there is 0 truth ever found here. Real truth is so hard to find and so much time is wasted just searching for it.
People like Matt Gaetz for the job he actually gets done, why do you news people dream up bad press?
Least popular yet most effective…
Makes me think he's a solid american leader then …
Hes not there to Have a Pizza Party with 50$ ice cream, Hes there to get Chit done.. So get out the way ..
Is this MF with the Afro and turtleneck for real? 🤣 blacks are such an embarrassment to themselves
He is loked by the ppl…who cares if he isnt liked by polticans…sick of msm propaganda
But outside of Congress he's very popular.
This is prefaced with Joe Biden doing his 37th take for "Hey there I'm just friendly ol' Joe" commercial Pathetic old geezer. Matt Gaetz would make a better President than Joe. So would Commander the dog.
Matt is a creep!
Who is Matt Gaetz? …..
Think… Biff from “Back to the Future” goes to congress and carries on like a hypocritical arrogant spoiled frat boy that was never checked yet and wears the perpetual “know it all” smirk on his face at all times……
Then you will understand the basic jist and vibe from this clown.
