Bob D'Angelo, Cox Media Group National Content DeskWASHINGTON — The historic removal of Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House on Tuesday received mixed reactions from lawmakers and politicians.McCarthy became the first Speaker in the history of the House to be removed, as eight Republicans broke ranks and voted with all Democrats to remove him by a 216-210 vote. The move to vacate the chair was orchestrated by Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla.

Wade was overturned, but failed to do so, the “Nobody knows what’s going happen next including all the people that voted to vacate have no earthly idea what they have no plan,” Cole said. “They have no alternative at this point.
