Republican Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz launched a new fundraising push to capitalize on his successful effort to oust former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
Conservative firebrand Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., launched a new fundraising push Wednesday seeking to capitalize on his successful gambit to oust former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, as well as the sharp criticism he received from his GOP colleagues amid the effort. 'It's Matt Gaetz and I need your immediate attention. I was just ATTACKED and BOOED by RINOs for asking you to weigh in and contribute to this fight.
These lobbyists and special interests own our leadership and HATE that I fund my political operation by asking Patriotic Americans for $10, $20, and $30 at a time. We're finally on the verge of ushering in REAL CHANGE to how Washington works, and I'm asking you to stand with me in this seminal moment,' the text continued, including a link to a donation webpage.
The final vote to remove McCarthy was a narrow 216-210, with Gaetz and seven other Republicans joining all Democrats in voting to oust him.
