Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) said that Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) “unleashed the demons” when he spearheaded an effort last year to oust former Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) from his leadership post.

Gingrich was responding to a question from Fox host Laura Ingraham on why some House Republicans, like Reps. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) and Mike Gallagher (R-Wisc.), have been leaving Congress before their terms ended.

Gingrich said that, in part, Gaetz’s effort last year that ended McCarthy’s tenure as speaker should not be downplayed and that since then, the lower chamber has been a “disaster.”

“Well I think, first of all, you’d have to have a totally different approach,” Gingrich said Friday on “The Ingraham Angle.” “We shouldn’t underestimate how bad what Matt Gaetz did was for the whole system. He unleashed the demons, he went after somebody who would raise $480 million, had gained seats for three elections in a row, and he drove Kevin McCarthy out of office. From that point on, it has been a disaster.”

Newt was hellbent on making the long-held GOP dream of getting Medicare [bowing of the head] "to wither on the vine" a reality.

I am so glad that my Democratic Party would have none of such tsuris.....as they say in Yiddish.

Republican policies make it clear they really hate the American people.

Well, the Newt is correct when characterizing the House as a "disaster."

The GQP House just can't do its job and govern.

What a joke.....they are embarrassing America.....with our friends and foes.

They have become so radical they are fighting amongst themselves.

Newt has no room to talk: his vision was and remains the template of the Republican Party.

Exactly.....the GOP has ALWAYS wanted to dump Social Security and Medicare.......luckily, the Democrats have always stopped them.
