He actually did it. Matt Gaetz has overthrown Kevin McCarthy, the third most powerful man in the United States. Not alone, but somehow. Who is the ultra-right hardliner? And what does he expect from his mutiny?
It was clear that right winger Matt Gaetz would call for mutiny against his party colleague and majority leader Kevin McCarthy. But the fact that the palace revolt actually succeeded in the end is a historic blow. It is the first time that a speaker of the House of Representatives has lost his position. And his dignity. Because in the end there is an unprecedented embarrassment. An embarrassment for McCarthy, for the Republicans, for the entire country.
Who is the man who started the avalanche from the right edge? Who is Matt Gaetz?
