Rep. Matt Gaetz, while slamming House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's comments on a stopgap bill to avert a government shutdown, hinted that the speaker's gavel is in danger and insisted that "no one trusts" him.
His comments came after McCarthy, R-Calif., said he was being the "adult in the room" by forwarding a 45-day stopgap continuing resolution to avert a looming government shutdown, which could start at midnight if an agreement isn't reached. He accused McCarthy of having made "one promise to House conservatives" in January to secure the speaker's seat and said he "made another promise to President [Joe] Biden, and he made a third promise altogether to House appropriators ... The one thing everyone seems to have in common is that no one trusts Kevin McCarthy."
