Matt Gaetz Attacks “Sniveling” House GOP Leadership

Newsweek reports:

Rep. Matt Gaetz said that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California and Minority Whip Steve Scalise of Louisiana were “not fitting of leadership” during a Wednesday night appearance on Tucker Carlson Tonight. The previous day, Gaetz accused the leaders of being “weak men” for speaking about him and former President Donald Trump indirectly during “sniveling phone calls” with Republican Representative Liz Cheney of Wyoming.

“I don’t know if the guy [McCarthy] gets an account on Truth Social at this point, based on the inconsistency between the recordings and what he says to us,” Gaetz said, referring to Trump’s fledgling social media platform. “And it is debasing for Republicans to give this guy a standing ovation after he smears Trump, lies to the country and then tries to sic Big Tech and the DOJ on members of Congress whose views he doesn’t agree with,” he added.

Look, we got a tough battle coming up in the 2022 elections. Political history, polls, redistricting – lots of obstacles between now and Nov, if we’re honest. But at least Democrats aren’t doing this to each other every single day. Constantly. pic.twitter.com/FyUVfgBrRn
