Last week, after Kevin McCarthy failed his 14th vote for Speaker of the House, Mike Rogers of Alabama and Matt Gaetz of Florida nearly came to blows in a fist fight. Rogers lost his shit when Gaetz voted present denying McCarthy the Speakership after the 14th vote. Kevin McCarthy also threw a tantrum, tried to get the House to adjourn before having a 15th vote that McCarthy elected Speaker.
Now Rogers and Gaetz and buddy buddy pals again.
It would nice if Rogers and other establishment RINOs got this mad at Democrats after all they’ve pulled over the last four years.
.@RepMattGaetz and I have a long and productive working relationship, that I am sure will continue. I regret that I briefly lost my temper on the House Floor Friday evening and appreciate Matt’s kind understanding. https://t.co/8GmbJHO3cK
