TL;DR Summary

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich criticized Congressman Matt Gaetz for spearheading an effort to oust former Rep. Kevin McCarthy from his leadership post, stating that it "unleashed the demons" and led to a "disaster" in the House. He also expressed sympathy for current House Speaker Mike Johnson, who has faced challenges since McCarthy's ouster. Additionally, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene filed a motion to vacate Speaker Johnson, similar to the move that removed McCarthy, but it currently lacks privilege and won't be considered after Easter recess. Gingrich argued that these developments highlight the need for a larger Republican majority in the House and the return of former President Trump to the White House.
