Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., told Newsmax on Monday night that there's "plenty of blame to go around" in the ongoing spat between Republicans Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., but said that he will not vote to remove McCarthy.
"But here's the problem. Those amendments would only get 85 to 110 votes on the House floor … it takes 218 votes to pass. So the reality is that a lot of these conservative spending bills don't have 218 votes because there's not a Democrat in Congress who wants to cut anything."
