Yup….
The move by some House RightWingNuts in safe Trump districts IS making other House Repubican’s desperately mad…..
House Republicans are letting loose with criticism of their GOP colleagues who voted against the conference’s short-term funding bill with just a day and a half until a government shutdown.
“There are 21 Republicans who just voted to defund the United States military and keep the border open,” said Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-Wis.). “They need to be called out by name. I mean, this is not a Republican shutdown. This is a shutdown — if we don’t get this done soon — that is caused by 21 individual members of the Republican conference.”….

Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.), a moderate, placed the blame for the looming shutdown directly on Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), one of the most prominent opponents to the stopgap who has also been threatening to vote to remove McCarthy.
“Unfortunately, a handful of people, and in particular a party of one — Matt Gaetz — have chosen to put his own agenda, his own personal agenda, above all else,” Lawler said.
“There’s only one person to blame for any potential government shutdown, and that’s Matt Gaetz,” Lawler continued. “He’s not a conservative Republican. He’s a charlatan. And as far as I’m concerned, when you’re working with Democrats to try to vacate the speaker, you’re a joke. This needs to come to an end.”….

Well where are these so called “moderates?
I mean if this doesn’t require some desperate measures, what exactly does?
They’re worried about the future of a slimy little worm like McCarthy?
Truth is these “moderates “ are nothing more than Right Wingers who don’t like Trump.Theres nothing particularly “moderate” about them except they talk somewhat sensibly compared to the increasingly kooky type of most Republicans in the House.
