‘Everything’s On The Table’: Nancy Mace Won’t Rule Out Ousting McCarthy

South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace refused to rule out ousting Speaker Kevin McCarthy during an interview on ABC’s This Week.

Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz has threatened McCarthy that he would file a motion to vacate the chair, giving the Speaker a list of demands including a balanced budget, term limits and pressing full steam ahead on the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.

Mace and ABC’s Jonathan Karl were discussing a looming government shutdown, with Karl noting McCarthy promised to hold individual votes on all spending.

“And we haven’t,” Mace cut in. (RELATED: ‘He’s Barely Speaker’: Can Kevin McCarthy Keep His Caucus Happy – And Keep His Speakership?)

“–I haven’t seen the bills. And quite frankly a lot of promises were made, and it’s not just to the freedom caucus but to other members of the House and those promises ought to be fulfilled–”

“You’re talking about promises that McCarthy made?” Karl clarified.


“Yes,” Mace said. “If we say we’re going to do something let’s do it. We want the American people to trust us, to trust Congress to do the right thing and to be responsible with their tax dollars and no one knows what’s going to happen and what spending is going to look like. And no one knows what additional spending, supplementals, etc that are going to be added on top of that so it probably ends up being more than $18.8 trillion over the next decade and I called this three months ago.”

Karl noted that Gaetz has threatened to file a motion to oust McCarthy.

“Could you see yourself under any circumstances supporting a motion to vacate?”

Mace first tried to dodge answering saying she would not “comment on conjecture here” before adding there is talk in the House from some Republicans that their vote on the potential motion “might be up for grabs.”

“What about your vote? Is it up for grabs? Could you–”

“We’ll see how it turns out but I will tell you, I’m one of those members who were made certain promises. I’ve worked on women’s issues, I’ve worked on issues related to gun violence I feel are very important, and it’s fallen on deaf ears, and if I give a hand shake to someone I expect someone to follow through with it.”

“Wow, so you don’t rule out supporting that?” Karl asked.

“You know what, everything’s on the table at this point for me because I want to do the right thing for the American people.”

Mace added that she does think McCarthy will be able to maintain the Speakership but that it would be a “long rest of the year.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
