Former House Speaker McCarthy said that Gaetz 'did all this to us' by filing the motion that led to his removal.
Republican Congressman Jim Jordan lost GOP support in his second consecutive failed vote for House speaker just after former Speaker Kevin McCarthy blamed Representative Matt Gaetz for Jordan's failure.Jordan mustered only 199 votes while losing his second vote on Wednesday. A total of 22 Republicans voted against Jordan, two more than during his failed first vote on Tuesday. All 212 House Democrats were united in voting for Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries in both votes.
'Going after Republicans that would work with anything with Democrats when he did all this to us? I know that infuriates a lot of members about him.'In response to a request for comment, Gaetz's office pointed Newsweek to the congressman's apology for the email, which was posted on Tuesday night to X, formerly Twitter, in response to criticism from fellow GOP Congressman Mike Lawler.'This email was sent by a vendor without my team's approval,' wrote Gaetz.
