Fireworks! Matt Gaetz Goes Toe to Toe With Maria Bartiromo Over Speaker McCarthy and GOP Budget Battle (Video)
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) engaged in a spirited debate with Sunday Mornings Future host Maria Bartiromo on the Fox News Channel over Republican infighting on the budget and Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA). The House is struggling to complete funding bills by the September 30 end of the current fiscal year. A partial government shutdown will take place without an agreement to fund the government past that date.
Bartiromo set up the clash with Gaetz with an interview with McCarthy supporter House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) who called for Republicans to support a short term continuing resolution to put off a potential shutdown. Gaetz is opposed to any CR and is pushing to hold McCarthy to his commitment to fund the government through regular order of separate funding bills.
