Gaetz said, &#8220;So, as he \u2063was baiting Republicans to vote for a continuing resolution without \u2064Ukraine money, saying that we were going \u200cto jam the Senate on Ukraine, he then turns around and makes a secret deal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When asked about \u200cthe level \u200dof support he expects for\u2062 his motion to remove the speaker, Gaetz expressed confidence in having &#8220;enough&#8221; backing \u200dfrom his Republican colleagues.

The one thing everybody has\u2062 in common is \u200bthat nobody trusts Kevin McCarthy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Gaetz was among the\u200b Republicans who initially opposed McCarthy&#8217;s bid\u200b for the speaker&#8217;s position. He had been threatening\u200c to take \u200caction against McCarthy for weeks, accusing \u2062him of lying\u2062 to Biden and House conservatives.

He\u2064 remarked, &#8220;That&#8217;s nothing \u2064new. He&#8217;s tried to do that from the moment I ran\u2063 for office.
