Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich suggested that Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) should be removed from the House Republican conference and relieved of his committee assignments over his escalated feud with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.).

The former Georgia congressman wrote on X on Sunday that he believes that having Mr. Gaetz fully expelled from the lower chamber seems infeasible, but blocking his participation in the party conference and committees would be a more “rational response.”
