Can House Republican Farce sink any LOWER? Matt Gaetz almost gets into a FIGHT with his colleague, plan for a temporary speaker are scrapped and Jim Jordan is told to drop out
House Republicans almost came to blows in an hours-long all-conference meeting on Thursday, with Jim Jordan's bid for speaker hanging on by a thread.
Rep.
Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., and Rep. Mike Bost, R-Ill., got into a near-physical altercation as emotions reached a tipping point during the three-hour meeting.
Bost was allegedly blaming Gaetz for ousting Speaker
Kevin McCarthy over two weeks ago and plunging the House into disarray and cursing him out. Gaetz said Bost later apologized for getting emotional.
Gaetz described the meeting 'like a
Thanksgiving dinner' with Bost being the drunk uncle.
At one point, Gaetz stepped up to the microphone to speak to his colleagues and McCarthy told him to 'sit down.'
'I told him to sit down and he sat down,' McCarthy told reporters. 'I think the entire conference screamed at him.'
'The whole country I think would scream at Matt Gaetz right now.'
