Gaetz, as quoted at GP:

Ultimately, McCarthy gets 43 to vote for him on a secret ballot, but Mike Johnson gets a majority.

And then he (Mike Johnson?) says, you know what I want? I want a roll call vote so that those 43 would have to announce themselves as being for a candidate who wasn’t even running instead of a unifying force like Mike Johnson. And when we called for the roll call. Do you know how many people voted for Kevin McCarthy? Zero!

Yesterday morning, before the vote for Speaker, Matt Gaetz explains that the most divisive force remaining…these last weeks was…Kevin McCarthy.

He tells a dramatic and compelling account to Steve Bannon of how the Republican House finally unites, at last, over Mike Johnson.

Gaetz explains that the K-Street lobbyists are now wailing and gnashing their teeth, as McCarthy “the swamp creature” repeatedly showed his true colours and the R House conference abandoned him because he was bent on manipulative schemes to defeat all rivals and to mount a come p-back as Speaker of the House.

McCarthy’s schemes failed and he was resoundingly rejected, as the MAGA-influenced Representatives carried out their duties.

If journalism is the first draft of history, then Matt Gaetz is the real honest deal. Give his interview a listen! American Greatness feature a cut-to-the chase news story headline, “McCarthy Tried to Sabotage Vote For New House Speaker Mike Johnson.”

The best line from the post on Penn State is at the end, winning narrowly among many fine contenders. (the long excerpt is for context)

It is not clear whether the faculty senate will apply its stentorian defense of free speech to Wax, who spent the past year feuding with the body over what she says is a rigged adjudication process. And Magill, Penn’s embattled president, has in recent days taken a more muddled line on free expression, writing that “hateful speech has no place at Penn.” That statement, which came after the donor revolt began, seemed designed to stem the bleeding from the university’s coffers and quell calls for her resignation.

But while some donors have attacked Penn’s decision to host September’s Palestine Writes festival, most have not called for anti-Semitic speakers to be canceled. The problem, they say, is that the school failed to condemn those speakers until it was pressured to do so, using free speech as an excuse for equivocation.

“The Administration has shown no leadership, moral courage or an ability to distinguish between what is clearly right and clearly wrong,” Jonathon Jacobson, who founded the investment firm Highsage Ventures, told Magill in an email. “Hiding behind free speech, which I am a huge advocate of, as an excuse for your fecklessness is laughable.”

Without referring to Wax by name, other donors have attacked the double standard her case seems to illustrate.

“I’m 100% for free speech,” Asness told Penn in a letter, “but not asymmetrical free speech where some have it and some don’t. Imagine Penn’s action if that event was as anti-anyone else other than Jews!? Hiding behind ‘free speech’ when it is a right only embraced for antisemites and other fellow travelers is not ok.”
