Two House Republicans defended their votes to oust Rep. Kevin McCarthy as House speaker and defended the criticism that they needed Democrat support in order to do so.
House Republicans are continuing to blast former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and dismiss criticisms about the reasoning and methods for ousting the House speaker. 'That’s just silly,' Virginia GOP Congressman Bob Good told Fox News Digital about the criticism from those who say the eight House Republicans who voted against McCarthy had to team up with Democrats to secure his ouster.
Good also addressed the Republicans who say that McCarthy had done a good job as speaker and has passed several important bills. 'Most of what you mentioned never got through the Senate,' Good said. 'We got the crime bill through. The president said he would veto it but didn’t because of public pressure. 'We got 3 or 4 bills through the Senate, nothing major quite frankly.
find it hypocritical that he says somehow McCarthy made some kind of deal with the Democrats to save his speakership, when he in fact did not obviously, but then Gaetz needed those same Democrats in order to oust McCarthy,' Gimenez said. 'That shows the hypocrisy of Matt Gaetz and that’s why he’s not really well liked within our conference. Matt Gaetz is about Matt Gaetz. Not about the American people. Not about the Republican Party. He’s certainly not about America.
