Gaetz Trashes Republican Colleagues In Tense Floor Speech: ‘Boo All You Want!’

Congressional troublemaker Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) finally made good on his threat to move to vacate House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) from his position on Tuesday. After the motion to table the vote failed, several Republican representatives stood up for the debate on whether or not to keep McCarthy, most of whom expressed their support. And for that, Gaetz mocked them, earning him boos on the floor of the House of Representatives.

Gaetz has been spending most of his allotted time complaining about the stopgap spending bill that McCarthy passed over the weekend to keep the federal government running, something that has been praised by his GOP colleagues. And he’s also complained about what hasn’t been getting done, blaming McCarthy and his ineffectiveness.

But when it came to how Gaetz raises money, that was what got him booed by the GOP conference:

Gaetz: And when it comes to how those raise money. I take no lecture on asking patriotic Americans to weigh in and contribute to this fight from those who would grovel and bend knee for the lobbyists and special interests who own our leadership, who have —

House Republicans: BOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Gaetz: Oh, boo all you want! Who have hollowed out this town and have borrowed against the future of our future generations. I’ll be happy to fund my political operation through the work of hard working Americans ten and twenty and thirty dollars at a time. And you all keep showing up at the lobbyist fundraisers and see how that goes for you.
