Matt Gaetz effectively House speaker as Kevin McCarthy caves: Steve Bannon

The Florida congressman seems to have galvanized enough members of his conference to focus on an agenda that doesn't include a continuing resolution.

via text on Friday:"Gaetz is now effectively the House speaker. Gaetz said in the well of the House he would 'bring McCarthy into compliance.' He has."

Representative Matt Gaetz speaks to reporters in the Capitol building on September 21, 2023, in Washington, D.C. Gaetz has publicly challenged House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on a continuing resolution to provide continued government funding and avoid a shutdown.

"Just keep doing everything the way it's always been done is the definition of a continuing resolution," Gaetz said Thursday on the Timcast podcast."I do not believe that is a serious and responsible way to govern, and I believe the reason we have a $32 trillion debt is because we have governed this way since the mid-90s.""I've heard the same bull**** for [the] seven years I've been here, and it's always the same," Gaetz said.
