Tensions erupt between McCarthy and Gaetz at closed-door House GOP meeting

Tensions erupted as House Republicans met behind closed doors, the latest sign of deep divisions and infighting as the House GOP conference has failed to coalesce around a plan to avert a shutdown. GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz and Speaker Kevin McCarthy got into a testy exchange during the meeting, according to a source in the room. #CNN #News

If you create a monster, and the monster then turns on you, who is really to blame?

[johnnyw]

McCarthy simply doesn’t have the skill nor the courage to be a leader. He just does what it takes to keep his job, barely.

[sandra]

Stop 🛑 wasting the taxpayers money on this sham of an impeachment and do something for the American 🇺🇸 people like keeping the government running!!! Vote 💙🗽⚖️🇺🇸

[alfredgeorge]

How can these so called elected representatives say they speak for their constituents, when they never speak or meet with their constituents, ?

[joelyazell]

Who cares if they claw each other’s eyes out, pass a budget you blackmailing traitors to your words.

[robertnelson]

Being a leader requires having a vision of where the party needs to go. The GOP has no vision.

The House G0P show us that childish individuals should never be entrusted with positions of importance. It is unfortunate that we have to wait over a year for America to place the adults back in charge.

Kevin is trying to save his job, but they are going to get rid of him anyway. He needs to work across the aisle to get the government funded.

[BookJay]

McCarthy is the true definition of what being someone's itch is

[daviddadamo]

Bottom line: Matt Goetz and his supporter are more concerned about how they look in Social Media than in governing.

[jimknarr]

Cut the salaries of all of Congress until we have a debt deal.

[rubedogg]

You just know Kevin calls Matt a child molester in their exchanges.😂

McCarthy keeps giving Gaatz a voice. He doesn't have to.
Does McCarthy not realize he's in charge, not Gaatz?

What's wrong with people it's not that hard to do the right thing, infact it's much more difficult being corrupt

[arpandas]

Say what you want about Nancy the fact that she got elected in the first round itself and also the fact that she was able to navigate and unite different factions of dems as one makes her a very capable administrator than the current speaker that too with the same 222-213 house composition as it is right now.

Thanks to Biden millions of Americans will eventually afford some of the expensive prescriptions. Prices are going down a prescription at a time. If you have a little skill anyone can work now thanks to low unemployment rate. More & more American manufacturers' are springing up now than before. Biden's experience is a plus. America is finally respected in the World stage. Just Vote Blue and save us from nonsensical noises.

[davidwilliams]

Who's the people who vote for these people

[leannevandekew]

Matt Gaetz must have misunderstood when he was told people use Venmo to make minor purchases.

[AndrewLewin-qv]

What a pleasure it is to witness how these fools are at each other’s throats! When thieves fall out they never fall in again!

I know it's not constructive, but I love watching Speaker McCarthy squirm.
