McCarthy (R-Calif.) pulled no punches when asked about Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), the mastermind of his historic removal as speaker of the House of Representatives.
The former speaker, whose 269-day tenure leading the lower chamber is the shortest in nearly 150 years, also accused Rep. Matt Rosendale – one of the eight – of appealing to God for Republicans to suffer defeats in 2022 midterm elections.
“So, I call her chief of staff … I said, ‘Can you please tell me, I don’t understand? Where have I not kept my word?’” McCarthy explained. “Chief of staff said, ‘You have kept your word 100%.’”“I bite my lip,” McCarthy added. “I let people say things that are not true. But it’s not right. It is not right. Her chief of staff told all of us we have kept every single one of our words. And he said he’s told her that, too.” Mace, Gaetz and Rosendale, along with Reps.
“Unequivocally, no,” McCarthy said of the purported backroom deal with the White House, explaining that he only reached out to the Biden administration to discuss the “transferability of money” in the continuing resolution.
