Rep. Matt Rosendale, R-Mont., one of the eight House Republicans who voted to oust Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., from the speakership, told Newsmax on Wednesday that "it was time" for McCarthy "to be removed" from his position.
"Nobody talks about the fact that Kevin McCarthy secured 209 Democrat votes to pass a continuing resolution this weekend to fund government in the same manner that Nancy Pelosi did and with Joe Biden policies attached to it," he said. "That is the problem with the continuing resolution that is trying to lead us up to an omnibus bill.
The Montana Republican said that there's likely to be "a lot of strained relationships over the next week or so" in the Capitol, after eight House Republicans came together with Democrats in an historic vote to oust McCarthy from the speakership on Tuesday. When asked what the plan is going forward, Rosendale said, "The plan is to actually honor the statute."
