Gaetz on Speaker vote: ‘Long live Speaker Scalise’
The Hill ^ | 10/11/2023 | TARA SUTER

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) celebrated the House GOP’s nomination of Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) for Speaker on Wednesday.

“I’m excited for him,” Gaetz said in a video clip posted to C-SPAN’s account on X, formerly known as Twitter. “I can’t wait to go vote for Steve Scalise. Long live Speaker Scalise.”

Gaetz previously said he would be pleased with either Scalise or House Judicial Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) as the nominee for Speaker. However, he didn’t officially endorse either contender.

“I want to hear both of their specific plans on spending and on single-subject appropriations bills,” Gaetz said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

We were all inspired by Scalise’s recovery after being shot by a Democrat. But that doesn’t mean he should be Speaker.

Gaetz will have a lot of explaining to do if Scalise becomes Speaker and continues funding the proxy war in Ukraine.

Not a fan of their closed door meeting to select a speaker. Hated the McCarthy. Win, and not pleased at all about Scallise

I’m disappointed in Gaetz.

I don't actually support ANY politicians. Frankly, anything that gums up business as usual in the District of Criminals is good news as far as I'm concerned. Washington were wiped off the map with a nuke tomorrow, my only question would be to ask, "To Whom do I address the "thank you" card?"
