Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., with his actions against ousted House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and other activities, is 'destabilizing the Republican Party,' and eventually could cost the party the presidency, political strategist and former presidential adviser Dick Morris says.
Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., with his actions against ousted House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and other activities in the chamber, is "destabilizing the Republican Party," and eventually could cost the party the presidency, political strategist and former presidential adviser Dick Morris tells Newsmax.
Gingrich, a House speaker from 1995 to 1999, wrote in a Washington Post column Tuesday that the party must expel Gaetz, calling him "actively destructive to the conservative movement." Morris pointed out that with the election coming up in 2024, the Republican Party is projecting "an image of being totally incapable of governing, and totally incapable of running Congress.""Yeah, cutting spending, we'd all like that," said Morris, adding that there are also concerns about the aid to Ukraine, but still he's concerned about following Gaetz's lead.
American Conservative Union leader Matt Schlapp, also on Tuesday night's program, argued that Gingrich, like former Speakers John Boehner and Paul Ryan, was a "failed speaker," and that there is a division in the conference because Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell believes that there should not be spending fights because they are lost.
