Yes, eat each other you cowards.

There’s almost no chance McCarthy gets removed.
Gaetz assumes Dems are going to vote to remove, when they will in all likelihood simply vote present.
Let the Republicans implode, but Gaetz’s gambit is a dangerous one since he doesn’t have full support of the majority.
Is it that dangerous? What are the consequences to him if the vote fails to oust McCarthy? He's on the Armed Services and Judiciary committees. Will he be removed from those? Will he expelled from the House GOP caucus? He's more or less already uncontrollable, so what's the point? And with the GOP's razor thin majority, the GOP can't afford to lose members.
Right now, Gaetz has a high profile. Even if the vote fails, he won't be shutting up or muzzled anytime soon.
Aaand, he got removed
