Representative Mike Lawler said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that Rep. Matt Gaetz push to oust Speaker Kevin McCarthy is delusional.JON KARL: I know you’ve been very much a defender of Kevin McCarthy throughout all of this. You supported the bill. What’s your reaction to Matt Gaetz said? He’s going to come out next week and try to remove him as speaker.
And so, to shut down the government would inflict pain on the American people, and it would hurt an already fragile economy because Bidenomics has failed.LAWLER: The only responsible thing to do was to keep the government open and funded while we complete our work. KARL: And it’s just a — I think it’s important to point out that you talk about the debt, which obviously is a huge problem. $7.8 trillion of that debt was added under the presidency of Donald Trump.
But we have to work together as a team. We have 221 Republicans. We need 218 votes to pass legislation through the House floor. Putting a motion to vacate forward, in defiance of conference rules which requires a majority of the majority. So, you know, I hear Matt constantly talking about the need to follow regular order, follow conference rules. Kevin McCarthy lied. He violated this. He violated that.
Chuck Schumer has done absolutely nothing when it comes to dealing with the crisis at our border. House Republicans have passed HR-2. We need to use the appropriations process as the vehicle to get border security for the American people, crack down on this massive influx of migrants coming into our country, and reform our immigration system long term.
