EXCERPT:

GAETZ: “It’s not an Ethics Committee matter that led us to be here without our appropriations bills passed. And this is also a pattern, Eric, because when I was critical of Kevin’s leadership, oh, I’m just an ethically challenged congressmen. But then, when Victoria Spartz, a congresswoman from Indiana, came forward and said, 'No, I too agree. I agree with Matt Gaetz that it’s Kevin McCarthy who failed us,' well, then he said, 'Well, she’s just a quitter.' This is a woman who said that she was going to be returning to her family because they needed her, and Kevin called a quitter. Meanwhile, when a man in Congress actually left in the middle of his term, Chris Stewart, Kevin McCarthy didn’t call him a quitter. So he’s been reckless and unhinged and rattled and misogynist in how he’s attacked those who are making a substantive argument? Here’s what no one has explained to me. Why didn’t we have our single-subject appropriations bills ready? And I think it’s because this is not a bug of the system, it’s a feature. Because the lobbyists and special interests who buy people off in this town don’t want individual review of programs. They want it all lumped together."
