Republican Reps. Matt Gaetz (FL) and Lauren Boebert (CO) on Monday explained why they opposed former President Donald Trump and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) for endorsing Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) to become Speaker of the House.
"Trump said Kevin McCarthy should be Speaker of the House," Real America's Voice host Charlie Kirk told Gaetz during a broadcast from the Turning Point USA America Fest event.
Gaetz promised he would vote for Trump in 2024 but said, "H.R. was not always his best thing; it was not only the best people" in his administration.
"It was sort of a parade of horribles with some of the people he chose inside of Washington, D.C. so maybe we ought to have a choice," he argued. "I'll be for Trump for president but I will not follow him in supporting Kevin McCarthy for Speaker."
Boebert said she disagreed with Trump and Greene for supporting McCarthy.
"I've been aligned with Marjorie and accused of believing a lot of the things that she believes in," Boebert complained. "I don't believe in this just like I don't believe in Russian space lasers — Jewish space lasers."
