'You're responsible for your behavior': Kevin McCarthy won't stop push to expel Matt Gaetz

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said he would not get involved in the possible push to expel Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) from Congress.

A Republican in the House of Representatives told Fox News that caucus members could move to expel Gaetz over an ethics complaint after he tried to force a government shutdown.

"No one can stand him at this point. A smart guy without morals," the unnamed Republican lawmaker reportedly said.

During a Sunday interview, Fox News host Mike Emanuel asked McCarthy if he supported removing Gaetz.

"I believe I let the constituents select who they want to be there, but you're responsible for your behavior when you're in Congress," McCarthy replied. "I don't get involved in ethics complaints."

Instead, McCarthy said he was focused on passing appropriations bills to fund the government.

"We've got 46 more days to get to keep this government moving to secure our border, eliminate wasteful spending, end the wokeism, and we only do that if we lock arms together," he said. "I'm not going to give up. If somebody in the party wants to stop us from getting the most conservative bill, I'm going to go to the next and the next and the next."
