Lauren Boebert criticizes ‘immature’ Republicans plotting Matt Gaetz’s removal.
Lauren Boebert Scolds ‘Childish’ Republicans Plotting to Remove Matt Gaetz
As House Republicans dissolve into a pit of seething rancor, Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado has issued a challenge to critics of Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida.
Gaetz launched what became the successful effort to bring down former Speaker Kevin McCarthy. That, in turn, led to some Republicans saying it was time for Gaetz to walk the plank as well.
“I’d love to have him out of the conference,” Republican Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska said, according to The Washington Post, adding that Gaetz “shouldn’t be in the Republican Party.”
Republican Rep. Michael Lawler of New York added that in his opinion, Gaetz should be expelled from the House Republican Conference.
And in an op-ed in The Washington Post, former Speaker Newt Gingrich said Gaetz should be expelled, claiming Gaetz “is destroying the House GOP’s ability to govern and draw a sharp contrast with the policy disasters of the Biden administration.”
“Gaetz and his accomplices have betrayed their colleagues by plunging the House into chaos. They have been totally destructive to the conservative efforts to check this administration and do good things for the American people,” Gingrich said in a statement to Newsweek.
Enter Boebert, defiance blazing.
My colleagues would be sorely mistaken to take a childish, vengeful route and try to expel my friend @MattGaetz for standing up to failed leadership.

The debate on expelling Gaetz has raged as well on social media.
Matt Gaetz is childish and vengeful so why not expel him? You are a hypocrite!

What I think GOP should expel Rep. Gaetz from the GOP congress and move to AOC or Democrats. He is a traitor. He stirred up the whole GOP Congress. One bad apple destroyed the whole GOP, period.

Imagine establishment Republicans being as angry at Mayorkas as they are at Matt Gaetz.
They’re moving to expel Gaetz but not a word on Mayorkas.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a government who worked for the people instead of their re-elections and their selfish interests?

The establishment wants to expel Matt Gaetz from office.
Not happening!— SixPack (@starkrob21) October 4, 2023
Gaetz responded to expulsion talk with his trademark bravado, telling the Post, “If they want to expel me, let me know when they have the votes.”

While supporting Gaetz, Boebert had voted against his effort to oust McCarthy as speaker, saying that as she balanced “broken promises, secret deals, and failed leadership” with the need to get a budget passed and move forward on impeachment, writing on X that “Another Speaker fight right now, in my opinion, undermines those priorities at the worst possible time.”
Amid the heated rhetoric about expelling Gaetz, Republican Rep. Kelly Armstrong of North Dakota said hard feelings are not really a justification for such a step, according to The Hill.
“We don’t kick people out ’cause we don’t like ’em,” Armstrong said. “God, we’d be doing that every morning in conference.”

In the midst of this controversy, Boebert took to Twitter to defend Gaetz from the attacks and calls for expulsion.
She referred to the efforts to remove Gaetz as “childish” and “vengeful,” suggesting that it is a misguided response to Gaetz’s resistance against failed leadership.
Boebert’s defense of Gaetz reflects the growing division within the Republican Party, with some members supporting Gaetz’s efforts to challenge the status quo, while others condemn his actions.
This divide is also evident in the responses on social media, where people express conflicting opinions about whether Gaetz should be expelled from the Republican Party. Some argue that Gaetz’s behavior is childish and vengeful, and therefore he should be removed, while others view him as a necessary force for change within the party.
Former Speaker Gingrich, who has been a prominent figure within the Republican Party, aligns himself with those calling for Gaetz’s expulsion. He believes that Gaetz’s actions are detrimental to the party’s ability to govern effectively and differentiate itself from the policies of the Biden administration.
Ultimately, the fate of Gaetz within the Republican Party will depend on the outcome of internal debates and discussions. Boebert’s defense of Gaetz highlights the division within the party and the challenges it faces in maintaining unity while accommodating diverse perspectives and approaches.
As the controversy surrounding Gaetz continues to unfold, it will be interesting to see how the Republican Party navigates this internal conflict and determines its future direction.
