Rep. Matt Gaetz says he is on a mission to fundamentally change the federal government and usher in a new era of Republican oversight on Capitol Hill.
In an address at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, Mr. Gaetz championed the concessions that conservative lawmakers won in the recent fight over the speaker of the House as a sign of things to come.
Mr. Gaetz, Florida Republican, is among a tiny group of conservative lawmakers in the House that demanded rule changes before clearing the way for Speaker Kevin McCarthy to win the gavel on the 15-ballot vote. “I am on a mission to change Washington, D.C., because Washington is a deeply corrupt place,” he said. “These are different times, they are new times. They call for boldness and patriotism.”
