Gaetz\u2019s addition appeared to come after Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) spoke with McCarthy about stepping back from the subcommittee to better manage his workload.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn order to devote adequate time to the Rules, Judiciary and Budget Committees, as well as be a dad and do my job as the Representative of Texas\u2019 21st Congressional District, I was happy to give my spot on the Weaponization Subcommittee to my friend, Matt Gaetz,\u201d Roy\u2019s office told The Daily Wire in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement, a Gaetz spokesperson told The Daily Wire: \u201cRep. Gaetz is honored to serve on the Weaponization Subcommittee and will be working very hard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The subcommittee, a significant pickup for Gaetz, is expected to play a pivotal role in GOP\u2019s expected investigations into the Biden administration over the next two years. The Republican agenda in the House is centered on investigations into issues that have irked and enraged GOP lawmakers for years, such as tech companies\u2019 censorship policies, President Joe Biden\u2019s role in the business dealings of his son, Hunter, and the FBI\u2019s targeting of former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Gaetz\u2019s appointment is somewhat surprising given his recent history with McCarthy. Gaetz was one of McCarthy\u2019s leading antagonists during the speakership fight last month. McCarthy was elected to the office after the 15th ballot.<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy gave a number of concessions to conservative holdouts in order to get the speaker\u2019s gavel. Rep. Roy was originally scheduled to serve on the subcommittee. However, McCarthy made a number of concessions to conservative holdouts during the speaker fight. This forced McCarthy to make concessions for House conservatives in order to win their votes.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unclear what deliberations took place, if any, to secure Gaetz\u2019s spot on the powerful subcommittee. The committee&#8217;s broad mandate is to investigate dozens of departments, officials, or others for suspected biases, as well as actions against conservatives, and other groups.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
