Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) has been adamant that his move to oust former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was rooted in policy disagreements and wasn’t a personal vendetta related to the congressional ethics investigation against him.

    It’s not really a secret that a sleazy criminal who has sex with underage girls has evil and selfish motivations. That’s like the free space on the sleazy criminal bingo card.
