WATCH: AOC Doesn’t Rule Out Helping Gaetz Remove Kevin McCarthy, Says She Will ‘Cross That Bridge When We Get To It’
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez did not rule out helping Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz remove Rep. Kevin McCarthy from House leadership when asked about it during an interview on Sunday.
Ocasio-Cortez was asked about possibly helping Gaetz vote McCarthy out of leadership by CBS News’s Face the Nation anchor Margaret Brennan.
“We would have to cross that bridge when we get to it. Speaker McCarthy has been very weak,” the New York Democratic-Socialist replied. “I think that he has also engaged in just absolutely terrible decision making for the American people from continuing to try to cement denying the right to an abortion among women, to the denial of to a policy that denies the reality of climate change, to basic fiscal irresponsibility and recklessness.”
There are “absolutely” grounds for an effort to oust Speaker McCarthy with a motion to vacate,
