A Not-So-Thinly-Veiled Threat

In the New Testament, the Book of Revelations lists the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse as conquest, war, famine, and death. In Trump-era politics, there are only three horsemen, but they're almost as scary and dangerous as the Four.

We consider the three to be (no surprise here) Marjorie Taylor Greene (R GA 14), Lauren Boebert of Colorado, and Rep. Matt Gaetz (R FL 01) who today threatened Speaker Mike Johnson with removal.

We notified him that any effort to change the threshold of motion to vacate would likely induce the motion to vacate, Gaetz is reported to have said.

Translating HAGA-speak, what Gaetz meant was that, if Johnson should change House rules in order to require more than a single Representative to move to fire the Speaker, the Maga caucus would fire the Speaker.
