Speaker McCarthy responds to Gaetz's efforts to remove him: "Bring it on"
Rep. Kevin McCarthy urged Rep. Matt Gaetz to “bring it on” after the Florida congressman announced his plans to bring a motion to oust the House speaker this week.
“That’s nothing new,” McCarthy said on CBS "Face the Nation."
"I’ll survive," he continued. "You know this is personal with Matt. Matt voted against the most conservative ability to protect our border, secure our border. He’s more interested in securing TV interviews than doing something."
So be it — bring it on. Let’s get over with it and let’s start governing,” McCarthy said.
When asked about Ukraine aid, which is missing from Congress' stopgap bill, McCarthy insinuated that he would want the funding tied to increasing border security.
“They’re not going to get some package if the border is not secure,” McCarthy said. “I support being able to make sure Ukraine has the weapons that they need. But I firmly support the border first. So we’ve got to find a way that we can do this together.”
