Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) expressed his disapproval towards the eight Republicans who voted to oust former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), saying that they had "unleashed furies" in the GOP conference, according to a report by The Hill.

In an interview with "Fox News Sunday" anchor Shannon Bream, Gingrich criticized the lawmakers who aligned with Democrats to defeat the majority of the House GOP conference. He argued that their actions allowed every person within the conference to become equally angry and destructive.

The eight Republicans who voted to remove McCarthy included Rep. Matt Gaetz (Fla.), who led the motion, as well as Reps. Andy Biggs (Ariz.), Ken Buck (Colo.), Tim Burchett (Tenn.), Eli Crane (Ariz.), Bob Good (Va.), Nancy Mace (S.C.), and Matt Rosendale (Mont.).

Gingrich suggested that the House GOP should have remained in conference last week after voting against supporting Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) as the party's Speaker designate. He recommended that they gather in conference, stay together, and make sure they have the necessary 217 votes to elect a Speaker who would commit to unity for the next few months.

Referring to the unsuccessful attempt to find a consensus candidate, Gingrich stated that they should not bring anyone out until they have secured the required number of votes. He warned that if the House rushes to elect someone without a solid consensus, they could end up in the same chaotic situation in a few weeks.

Following McCarthy's removal, Gingrich called for the expulsion of Gaetz and the defeat of the motion to oust McCarthy, referring to Gaetz as an "anti-Republican" who engaged in "childish behavior."

The historic ousting of McCarthy led some Republicans to question the rule that allows for the removal of the Speaker. Efforts are being made to change or eliminate this rule to prevent a similar situation from arising in the future, although any resolution on this matter would likely be put to a vote only after a new Speaker has been elected and the House returns to its normal functions.

Since McCarthy's ouster nearly three weeks ago, the House has been ensnared in a state of paralysis. Multiple Republicans vying for the Speaker's gavel have faced internal conflicts within the GOP conference, preventing them from amassing the necessary 217 votes for the position.

Initially, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (La.) won the GOP's support and defeated Jordan. However, he withdrew his candidacy after it became clear that he would not reach the required number of votes. Jordan then reentered the race and secured the nomination against Rep. Austin Scott (Ga.). Despite multiple rounds of voting, Jordan failed to reach the 217-vote threshold, losing more GOP support with each ballot.

Following a secret ballot vote on Friday, the House GOP decided to no longer back Jordan, leaving the lower chamber in need of a new Speaker.

As the race for the Speaker's position continues, several Republican candidates have thrown their names into consideration. A candidate forum is scheduled for Monday at 6:30 p.m., with an internal nomination election to take place on Tuesday at 9 a.m.

The future leadership of the House remains uncertain as Republicans navigate through tumultuous internal conflicts and strive to find a consensus candidate who can unify the party.
