In a recent appearance on "The Ingraham Angle," former House Speaker Newt Gingrich expressed his concerns about the state of the House of Representatives, attributing some of the chaos to Congressman Matt Gaetz's past actions. Gingrich highlighted Gaetz's role in ousting former Rep. Kevin McCarthy from his leadership post, describing it as unleashing the demons and causing turmoil within the lower chamber.

Responding to Fox host Laura Ingraham's question regarding the early departure of some House Republicans, including Reps. Ken Buck and Mike Gallagher, Gingrich emphasized that Gaetz's efforts to remove McCarthy should not be underestimated. He noted McCarthy's successful fundraising abilities, three consecutive election victories, and ultimately, his forced departure after Gaetz's actions.

Gingrich voiced his concerns about the consequences of McCarthy's removal, stating, "From that point on, it has been a disaster." He acknowledged the difficult position faced by current House Speaker Mike Johnson, as he inherited a fractured chamber following McCarthy's removal. However, Gingrich did not hold Speaker Johnson fully accountable for the House's legislative performance since taking office.

Interestingly, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a top critic of Speaker Johnson, recently filed a motion to vacate, using the same procedural move that removed McCarthy in October. While Greene declared it a "warning," she did not provide a timeline for the vote on the motion. As it currently stands, the motion is not privileged and will not be considered after the Easter recess.

Gingrich argued that these developments were significant justifications for not only electing former President Trump back into the White House but also for securing a larger majority in the House. He highlighted his own experience as speaker and the advantage of having a substantial majority to navigate differences and govern effectively.

"This is the best argument I have seen for why we need not only to elect Donald Trump but to elect a very large majority with him," Gingrich asserted. "When I was speaker, I had a lot more ability than Johnson does to run the House because I had a big enough majority. You could have five or ten people who were crazy, and you could still govern. He doesn't have a one-vote majority."

As tensions within the House of Representatives continue to simmer, Gingrich's comments shed light on the ongoing struggles the Republican Party faces in maintaining unity and advancing their legislative agenda.
