Gaetz Helped Oust McCarthy But Gives Johnson a Chance, Seeking GOP Unity Before next Budget Fight
-
Gaetz was responsible for ousting Kevin McCarthy as House Speaker, but has no plans to do the same with new Speaker Mike Johnson.
-
Gaetz says Johnson's deal "claws back" $20 billion that McCarthy "lied" to them about in "inside deals" with Democrats.
-
Gaetz wishes Johnson had gotten more concessions, but the one-seat majority limits Johnson's leverage.
-
Gaetz says McCarthy's "accumulation of misrepresentations" warranted his removal, but Johnson has been more transparent.
-
Gaetz hopes Republicans get into a "fighting posture" with Democrats before the next continuing resolution.
