Gaetz slams McCarthy: ‘Let’s see if they save our ineffective Speaker’

Florida GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz Calls Out‍ McCarthy’s ⁤Leadership

Florida ‌GOP Representative Matt Gaetz is frustrated with the current state of governing in Congress.⁤ He‍ believes that relying on continuing resolutions and omnibus ‍legislation to avoid appropriations‌ bills and government shutdowns is not an effective way to govern. Gaetz specifically takes issue with the funding for Ukraine, which‍ has been a sensitive issue for ​many Republicans.

Recently, the Senate attempted to prevent a government shutdown by passing another bipartisan continuing resolution. Gaetz, however, expressed his skepticism from the House floor, ⁢stating, “We will see if they bail out our failed speaker.” This is a reference to Kevin McCarthy, who faced opposition from Gaetz and other lawmakers earlier this year due to concerns about his conservative values.

McCarthy’s attempts to strike bipartisan ​deals on appropriations bills, including funding for Ukraine, have only reinforced Gaetz’s opposition. According to The Hill, the Senate is likely to pass a continuing resolution to keep the government funded until November 17.⁤ This puts pressure on the House to follow suit and avoid a shutdown.

Gaetz believes that the House should vote on actual appropriations bills instead of relying on continuing resolutions. He argues that this is the only way to break free from the cycle of governing by resolution and omnibus legislation. Gaetz also criticizes the Senate for attaching⁤ Ukraine funding to the reauthorization of the Federal Aviation Administration, calling it an insult⁣ to their governing authority.

Gaetz’s speech on the House floor reflects his frustration with⁣ the current state of leadership in Congress.⁤ He believes that the House has been poorly ⁢led for the ⁢past eight months and that something needs⁣ to change.⁢ Gaetz has been vocal in ⁢his⁤ opposition to McCarthy’s‍ approach to spending and debt, accusing him‍ of relying on budgetary gimmicks and failing ‌to cut spending.

While Gaetz’s criticism may​ not have an⁢ immediate impact on McCarthy’s position as speaker, it highlights the growing discontent among House Republicans. Gaetz’s speech and previous challenges to McCarthy’s leadership demonstrate a lack of trust in his ability to⁣ effectively lead the party.⁣ Only time will tell if Democrats will support⁤ the Senate’s bill ‍and ‍potentially bail out McCarthy, but Gaetz and other conservatives⁢ in the House GOP have made their‍ concerns clear.
