Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., told Newsmax that former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., broke the promises he made with conservative members to gain their support earlier this year.
Appearing Tuesday on "Eric Bolling The Balance," Gaetz defended his successful motion to vacate the speaker of the House, resulting in McCarthy's ouster, and outlined the steps going forward."I never thought we'd be at this moment," Gaetz admitted. "It's because, in February and March, we really saw Speaker McCarthy adhere to the agreement he made with House conservatives.
Among the deal's stipulations were pledges to make it harder to raise taxes, mandate new spending be paid for, open special panels to probe the Biden administration, and power share with Freedom Caucus members."Kevin McCarthy broke so many of the promises he made in January," Gaetz said. "We started to see the House of Representatives revert back to its corrupt, old muscle memory of just omnibus bills, continuing resolutions, and more of the same.
