Matt Gaetz Reveals the Dirty Details Behind the Republican Old Guard’s Attempt to Derail Mike Johnson’s Vote for House Speaker

 Guess who objects to that unanimous consent request? - Kevin McCarthy! Kevin McCarthy stands up and says, I object to doing a roll call on Mike Johnson.

All the times Johnson had voted for McCarthy, had carried his water, maybe even voted for some bills he didn't like because he was working toward the Republican conference's stated objectives under McCarthy.

Now, why did he do that? Because they were setting up a play to block Mike Johnson with write in votes in the intra conference process for Kevin McCarthy.

So Garrett Graves and all these people are working to try to effectuate this return of McCarthy, and they're telling us they're going to be 100 votes for McCarthy on the write in.

Ultimately, McCarthy gets 43 to vote for him on a secret ballot, but Mike Johnson gets a majority.

Do you know how many people voted for Kevin McCarthy? Zero! So he went from promising 100 votes, to delivering 43, to zero willing to vote for him! And everyone in the room knew at that moment that I wasn't the force for chaos.

In the place of Kevin McCarthy, we get a Bayou, Louisiana mike Johnson, a brilliant Constitutional attorney.
