During an appearance on Thursday’s broadcast of The Ingraham Angle, Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz told host Laura Ingraham that he wouldn’t cast his vote for Kevin McCarthy under “almost any circumstance.”
He also took a shot at former President Trump.
“I wouldn’t be betting on my vote for Kevin McCarthy under almost any circumstance,” Gaetz told Ingraham, adding that he would step down in the event that Democrats join up to elect a moderate Republican.
“Kevin McCarthy has been in the leadership for 14 years and he has sold shares of himself to special interests, to political action committees, and so that’s why I don’t think he is an appropriate choice,” Gaetz added. “He also has no ideology.”
While discussing former President Trump, Gaetz said “I defended him a great deal in Congress, but HR wasn’t always his strong suit. You know, President Trump got us folks like Jeff Sessions and Bill Barr and Jim Mattis and Mark Esper. People who didn’t always advance America First policy.”
