Republican Matt Gaetz Files Motion to Remove Speaker Kevin McCarthy | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

House lawmakers are now dealing with a motion to remove Republican Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Last night, Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz of Florida filed a motion to remove Speaker McCarthy, who he says broke a number of promises made to the GOP members last January. A number of lawmakers reacted to the motion. Representative Gaetz says, "I have enough Republicans where at this point next week, one of two things will happen. Kevin McCarthy won't be the Speaker of the House or he'll be the Speaker of the House working at the pleasure of the Democrats." Speaker McCarthy reacted saying, "At the end of the day, keeping government open and paying our troops was the right decision. I stand by that decision, and at the end of the day if I lose my job over it, so be it." Representative Mike Lawler says, "The reality is that Matt Gaetz would need Democrat support to remove Speaker McCarthy. The fact that he is willing to do that shows obviously that he doesn't care about governing in a Conservative House majority."
