Rep. Matt Gaetz continued to tease a motion to vacate against Speaker Kevin McCarthy, accusing McCarthy of making a 'side deal' with President Joe Biden on Ukraine aid.
Rep. Matt Gaetz speaks to members of the media after speaking on the House floor in Washington, Oct. 2, 2023.Hard-line Republican Matt Gaetz on Monday continued to tease a motion to remove House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, accusing him of making a "side deal" with President Joe Biden on Ukraine funding to get Democratic support for avoiding a government shutdown -- something McCarthy has denied.
President Biden signed the spending bill just before the shutdown deadline but criticized Republicans for leaving out assistance to the war-torn nation. He said he expected McCarthy to "keep his commitment" to Ukrainians as spending negotiations continued. "You cannot use Democrats to roll a majority of the majority -- certainly on something as consequential as Ukraine," Gaetz said. "So for all the crocodile tears about what may happen later this week about the motion to vacate, working with the Democrats is a yellow brick road that has been paved by Speaker McCarthy, whether it was the debt limit deal, the CR, or now the secret deal on Ukraine.
McCarthy also indicated he is open to arming Ukrainians but not as keen about rebuilding the country.
