Rep. Matt Gaetz lauded newly elected House Speaker Mike Johnson and said his election shows how the MAGA movement is on the rise.
“The swamp is on the run, MAGA is ascendant and if you don’t think that moving from Kevin McCarthy to MAGA Mike Johnson shows the ascendance of this movement, and where the power of the Republican Party truly lies, then you’re not paying attention,” Mr. Gaetz said on Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast Wednesday.
“He is sharp. He will be as respected in the homes of our most meaningful, righteous and patriotic donors as he will be at the rallies with our most enthusiastic and meaningful activists,” Mr. Gaetz said. It had been three weeks since former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, California Republican, was ousted from the position after a motion to vacate brought by Mr. Gaetz, who cited a lack of trust as the reason he had to be removed.
