Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said the eight Republicans who voted to oust former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy from his post owe everyone an apology.
“The eight Republicans who joined Democrats and ousted Kevin McCarthy, they need to apologize and we need to heal our conference in order to move forward,” the Georgia Republican said in a Tuesday interview with Fox Business’s Larry Kudlow.
But Mr. Gaetz said Wednesday he felt vindicated by the election of Rep. Mike Johnson of Louisiana as the new speaker. The vote on Mr. McCarthy marked the first time in history a speaker had been removed from the position. There have been votes in the past, but none had actually come to removal. House Republicans struggled for weeks to find someone to replace Mr. McCarthy. Three GOP nominees — Majority Leader Steve Scalise of Louisiana, Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, and Majority Whip Tom Emmer of Minnesota — dropped out of the race because they could not garner enough votes to win.
