House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., told Newsmax on Monday that he thinks the motion to vacate him from his role by Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., was a personal decision.
Joining "The Record With Greta Van Susteren," McCarthy slammed Gaetz for voting against the initial House GOP proposal that included spending cuts and increased border security – calling for his ouster instead.
"Look, I'm a conservative that believes we can get things done in a conservative manner. If my continuing resolution had passed – that the majority of the conference voted for – we would have secured our border, we would have cut spending, and we'd be in a stronger position." According to The Hill, the complaint accuses the congressman of a number of improprieties, including sexual misconduct and drug abuse. None thus far has been proven.
Initially expected to include Ukrainian military, government, and humanitarian assistance, the final bill passed this weekend did not include the planned billions.
