Breaking News: Republican Representative Kevin McCarthy has been ousted from his position as the House Speaker.

Matt Gaetz criticized Congress members for their alignment with "lobbyists and special interests" just before McCarthy's removal.

"I won't accept a lecture on urging patriotic Americans to get involved and support this cause from those who would obediently serve the interests of lobbyists and special interest groups that have influence over our leadership."

Quite an eventful day.
