CNN — As Kevin McCarthy was on the verge of losing his position as speaker, some of his backers made a not-so-subtle warning to GOP Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina: If you vote to remove McCarthy, the party might not be ready to support you in raising money for your campaign.

The warning to Mace, which was reported by a person with knowledge of the call, is evidence of how deeply the Republican party has been angered by the speaker drama. In Washington, money is frequently used as a potent incentive – or stick.

However, Mace, a Republican who might be up for reelection and who likely need a sizable campaign war chest, ultimately teamed up with seven other GOP senators and all of the Democrats to defeat McCarthy. It's also not theIt's just one of many instances of the repercussions from Tuesday's shocking decision to oust the speaker, which echoed across the Capitol on both sides and left the GOP in a state of utter disarray trying to pick up the pieces. Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida, the mastermind of the McCarthy uprising, is the target of much of the commotion. Republicans, though, are also blaming their Democratic counterparts for siding with Gaetz to destabilize the House and punish McCarthy for using their votes to fund the government.

And all of this occurs as the GOP leadership struggles to win. McCarthy has started to take shape, despite Republican grassroots warning the speaker contenders that there is a lot of work to be done.

Armstrong advised the incoming speaker to learn how to bargain with exotics before taking office since they would for sure require it once they did.

As another government funding deadline approaches, the high-stakes drama has not only sparked threats to expel GOP colleagues from the conference but also jeopardized crucial bipartisan working relationships. It has also sparked serious internal discussions about reforming the House rules, further complicating any speaker candidates' bids to win the gavel. And, according to Democratic insiders, it even sparked some real estate retaliation: former Speaker Nancy sources claimed

Gaetz, who has long annoyed his coworkers and has been raising money for his campaign to unseat McCarthy, is likely to suffer the biggest shots from them all. According to sources, they wouldn't be surprised to hear someone file a motion to have Gaetz removed from conference at their next formal meeting.

The Republican conference is a privilege, not a right, to be admitted. However, it would require a two-thirds majority to successfully remove someone.

Rep. Mike Lawler, a freshman from New York, who referred to Gaetz's behavior as "disgraceful," responded, "In my opinion, yes."

Republican representative from North Carolina Greg Murphy said he would hold off on supporting Gaetz's expulsion until the House Ethics Committee's investigation into his behavior is complete.

Murphy criticized Gaetz's efforts to remove McCarthy, saying, "I think it's very sad that this is obviously politically personally motivated." There was a personal grudge towards the speaker.

The head of the Republican Governance Group, Rep. Dave Joyce of Ohio, went even further, saying
