GOP Chaos: Matt Gaetz Laments McCarthy's Absence in Failed Impeachment Vote

Rep. Matt Gaetz expressed regret over the absence of former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy after Republican lawmakers failed to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Gaetz led the effort to depose McCarthy last year. The House voted on two articles of impeachment against Mayorkas, accusing him of a "willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law" and a "breach of public trust" related to the border crisis. Three Republicans joined Democrats in voting against the impeachment, leading to its failure. Gaetz also lamented the absence of former Rep. George Santos, attributing their expulsion and McCarthy's resignation to the outcome.
