Rep. Jeff Van Drew, R-N.J., told Newsmax on Wednesday that Republicans must “move on” from the vote to remove former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., or the GOP risks losing control of the House in the next election. …

Van Drew said “We can’t dwell on the past at this point,” but, he added, “I’d ask people to remember one thing: every single Democrat voted against Kevin McCarthy, every single Democrat on the floor of the House of Representatives voted against him, so it is time now that we move on because if we’re not careful, we could lose the majority and we’re not going to let that happen.”

[It may be frustrating, but that is the wise choice. If Republicans want to get even with the Gaetz 8, they can do that by funding primary challengers in their races. Now is not the time for vindictive fights, even if Gaetz and his squad don’t realize it. — Ed]
