There was once a case to be made that McCarthy was simply a weak leader. But now it’s clear he is blessing the provocations to violence. Gosar made a murderous video. McCarthy is murdering democracy.https://t.co/hkbFIQRZCf

This is the first time McCarthy has publicly weighed in on Gosar since he posted the video last week — but he still did not directly condemn Gosar, just noted that Gosar deleted the tweet after their conversation. https://t.co/DxDXAdo1KQ

Tim Gosar says his brother Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) should be expelled from Congress: "He's dangerous, unhinged, and is reckless." pic.twitter.com/eM4eUzjPz3

Do not forget that this is not Paul Gosar's first rodeo when it comes to political violence and threats thereof. He was one of the movers and shakers behind January 6.

That’s just wrong. But the GOP thinks otherwise.
Hell, they’re more upset about members who voted for a BIPARTISAN infrastructure package.
In any other workplace, he’d be punished or out.
Should be the same here.
When the sordid history of the Trump Republican Party is written, let it be noted that Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger were the only House Republicans brave enough to vote to censure Paul Gosar for inciting political assassination.

Analysis: The GOP suggested that it would retaliate for Democrats censuring Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) when it regains the majority. And it's hardly the first time. https://t.co/YvgWf4DfEW

“From all the information we’ve learned, I believe my brother to be a co-conspirator in a coup attempt against the United States government. So I think expulsion is actually the most appropriate next step,” says Jennifer Gosar, younger sister of Rep. Gosar https://t.co/KV4f8Go6nY

Arizona Republican Paul Gosar is the first member of the House to be formally rebuked in more than a decade. Too bad he wasn’t expelled. He deserved to be.

This is incredible. It is as close as I have seen any Tory leader come to admitting that their only way to stay financed is to sell perks. Completely self-inflicted. Everything else the PM says are the usual excuses. Linking peerages to how parties are funded is a massive fumble. https://t.co/qrmJRvhID1

The question isn’t if there’s going to be a leadership bid, but when. The problem is any successor to Johnson chosen from within the cabinet – the favourite among Tory members is Liz Truss – will bring only still more chaos.

It’s worth remembering that if Conservative MPs now get rid of Boris Johnson it will not be because he has done profound damage to the United Kingdom, to parliament, to truth or to the UK’s reputation abroad. It will be because he has done damage to them.

Respectfully disagree. There would be a case if he said ‘you voted for a corrupt government’ but he didn’t. I don’t think (most) people voted for them knowing they were corrupt, so this isn’t a judgment on people, it’s the truth of the current situation.

If Boris Johnson torched Parliament, kidnapped the Queen & sold London to Kim Jong Un, people like Raab would still be bleating ‘he got Brexit done’ as if it was some sort of achievement. https://t.co/KyZmHPXKu4

Brexit by a thousand cuts: lost jobs, crushed dreams, separated families, more expensive goods, tedious paperwork, supply shortages, staff shortages, fewer uni exchanges, no ski chalets, less music tours, poorer medical treatment, no retirement in the sun…on and on and on.
