Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz of Florida faced an embarrassing defeat in the House of Representatives this past Wednesday, February 3.

During a recent edition of Steve Bannon's podcast, Gaetz was confident he had enough votes to oust Republican Liz Cheney of Wyoming from House Republican leadership positions as punishment for voting to impeach former President Donald Trump.

Gaetz was apparently so sure Cheney would be voted out of her positions he claimed the Republican "establishment" might try to scuttle the vote altogether.

Gaetz said:

"My concern is that though today, we have the votes to remove Liz Cheney, somehow the Establishment's going to find a way to kick the question, avoid a vote..."

The vote ended up being brought to the House floor, however, where Gaetz's faction was soundly defeated by his fellow Republicans 145 to 61.

The incident was reportedly so embarrassing Gaetz refused to do interviews afterwards, a strange move for him.



People on Twitter wondered whether Gaetz was lying on Bannon's podcast or whether he was just very, very wrong.



Perhaps Gaetz and his ilk are louder than they are numerous.



Twitter wasted no time in roasting the Florida Congressman for his foolishness.



Perhaps Matt Gaetz will think twice about making big claims on the record.


After this decisive defeat within his own caucus, Gaetz will have to find a new path forward politically.

Fox News Ripped After Blaming Talarico For Not Trying To Stop MAGA Conspiracy Theory About Him

Fox News sparked eyerolls from critics after attempting to blame Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico for not trying to shut down a viral MAGA conspiracy theory that he'd had a mental health episode and was admitted to a facility.

Talarico returned to the campaign trail after taking nine days off to recover from the flu. During his absence, conservative commentators circulated an unsubstantiated claim that he had experienced a mental health crisis and traveled to the Lindner Center of Hope in Cincinnati, Ohio, for treatment.

Samuel L. Jackson Roasts Red Carpet Reporter To Shreds After She Tries To Do Impression Of Him

Samuel L. Jackson is one of those actors that people just love to impersonate. He's had so many memorable roles with countless quotable lines, and his personality is nothing short of fascinating.

But people who attempt to impersonate him always get some aspect of the impression wrong, whether it's the volume, the enunciation, the intonation, or just the overall demeanor. Even Jamie Foxx, who's an impressive impersonator of a wide range of stars, has not impressed Jackson with his impersonation of him.
