Rep. Matt Gaetz Threatens to Resign from Congress if Republicans Give Democrats Co-Control of the Chamber Just to Elect McCarthy as Speaker of the House (VIDEO)

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) has threatened to resign if the Republican party will negotiate with Democrats in voting to elect Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) as speaker.

Matt Gaetz announced his intentions to resign from Congress in an interview on Fox News Channel’s “The Ingraham Angle” Thursday night if he and other GOP patriots continued to refuse to back Kevin McCarthy’s speakership campaign.

Rep. Gaetz was asked by Laura Ingraham if he was okay with Republicans giving Democrats co-control of the committees, Gaetz firmly responded, “No!”

...

Gaetz told Laura that he “wouldn’t be betting on my vote for Kevin McCarthy under almost any circumstance.”

“Kevin McCarthy is the masthead of the Lobby Corps. And I resent the extent to which Kevin McCarthy utilizes the lobbyists and the special interests to be able to dictate how political decisions are made, how policy decisions are made, and how leadership decisions are made.”

“Kevin McCarthy has been in the leadership for 14 years, and he has sold shares of himself to special interests, to political action committees. And so that’s why I don’t think he is an appropriate choice,” he continued.

It’s not at all surprising when Democrat voters fall for these lies, but folks on this forum should know better. Yet some fall for it hook, line, and sinker. (Some are probably in on the propaganda.)
