One of the representatives of the American Trumpist hard right, Matt Gaetz, announces on Sunday that he wants to impeach the Republican president of the House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy, after he managed to postpone a paralysis of the federal administration with the help of the Democrats, reports AFP.

“I intend to file a motion to impeach President (Kevin) McCarthy this week,” Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz announced on CNN.
“I think we have to move forward with a new boss we can trust”, he declared.
This fratricidal initiative was otherwise expected.
Kevin McCarthy, elected at the cost of many compromises with the Trumpists, announced on Saturday that he is aware that he is risking his job.
“Do you know something? If I have to risk my job to defend the American people, I will,” he assured.
In a last attempt to avoid the paralysis of the American administration, a resolution proposed by Kevin McCarthy was adopted by Congress, just three hours before the “shutdown”, with the support of the Democrats.
A CANCESION AT MCCARTHY’S CHAOTIC ELECTION
Matt Gaetz campaigns, along with other Trumpists, in favor of a drastic reduction in state spending.
On Sunday, he accused Kevin McCarthy of having “lied to the conservatives in the House of Representatives”.
“The one thing everyone has in common is that no one trusts Kevin McCarthy,” thundered Matt Gaetz.
“Kevin McCarthy’s goal was to make several contradictory promises, in order to delay (…) and finally blow up the guarantees regarding spending,” he accused.
Kevin McCarthy was elected Speaker of the House of Representatives – in the 15th round of voting – in January, after the Trumpists finally agreed to support him, in exchange for some concessions, including a return to the possibility of individual legislators to call a vote in order to impeach the president of the Chamber.
