Matt Gaetz challenges Speaker Kevin McCarthy on House floor

Matt Gaetz took to the House floor, during a period when members are permitted to give general speeches on any topic, to rail against the Speaker for allowing the House to pass a stopgap spending bill to prevent a government shutdown late Saturday, just hours before the expiration of the fiscal year.

The Florida Republican and a small group of fellow right-wingers had opposed the measure, known as a continuing resolution, because it did not include draconian cuts to most government departments.

Well they should not have let McCarty be the Speaker

We need more than a one party political system in America. Especially since the only political party simply tolerates it’s constituents.
