“It’s disgusting, it’s what’s disgusting about Washington,” says Rep. Garret Graves (R-#Louisiana) about Republican colleagues immediately sending out fundraising text messages and e-mails about their support of the motion to oust House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) quickly defends raising money off the move to oust McCarthy, telling the speaker's supporters: "You all keep showing up for lobbyist fundraisers and see how that goes for you."

"We have to rip off the Band-Aid," says Rep. Gaetz, adding he doesn't know how the vote will go to oust Speaker McCarthy, which he has instigated. "Let's vacate the chair. Let's get a better speaker."

A roll call vote now begins on the move to oust Kevin McCarthy as speaker of the House.

Kevin McCarthy removed as speaker of the US House of Representatives on a vote of 216-210.

Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC) is now acting speaker of the House.
