TAPPER You had a ░░░░░░░░ of eight Republican rebels ░░░░░░░░ were ultimately responsible for ░░░░░░░░ Kevin McCarthy who I ░░░░░░░░ it s fair to ░░░░░░░░ was responsible for a ░░░░░░░░ of conservative legislation passing ░░░░░░░░ House including H R ░░░░░░░░ which is this border ░░░░░░░░ You know a lot ░░░░░░░░ people on the Hill ░░░░░░░░ this how it should ░░░░░░░░ that one person Matt ░░░░░░░░ should be able to ░░░░░░░░ a motion to vacate ░░░░░░░░ eight Republicans should be ░░░░░░░░ to you know unite ░░░░░░░░ the minority party and ░░░░░░░░ the speaker SHORT No ░░░░░░░░ not I think you ░░░░░░░░ when Pelosi was speaker ░░░░░░░░ certainly didn t allow ░░░░░░░░ one motion to vacate ░░░░░░░░ her conference And I ░░░░░░░░ whoever succeeds Kevin will ░░░░░░░░ sure that that rule ░░░░░░░░ changed But to be ░░░░░░░░ it was negotiated by ░░░░░░░░ when he became speaker ░░░░░░░░ in January It was ░░░░░░░░ condition to get some ░░░░░░░░ the members to support ░░░░░░░░ But I don t ░░░░░░░░ it s a healthy ░░░░░░░░ Jake TAPPER No it ░░░░░░░░ pretty crazy What do ░░░░░░░░ think the House Republicans ░░░░░░░░ all saying to each ░░░░░░░░ right now Not the ░░░░░░░░ know you don t ░░░░░░░░ to curse but in ░░░░░░░░ of figuring out a ░░░░░░░░ forward we had Congressman ░░░░░░░░ on and he said ░░░░░░░░ you just said you ░░░░░░░░ to get rid of ░░░░░░░░ motion to vacate What ░░░░░░░░ things do you think ░░░░░░░░ re saying SHORT Well ░░░░░░░░ think it is appropriate ░░░░░░░░ give them a few ░░░░░░░░ to get away and ░░░░░░░░ back on Tuesday and ░░░░░░░░ a forum and allow ░░░░░░░░ to present their issues ░░░░░░░░ But I think what ░░░░░░░░ concerning is we really ░░░░░░░░ 33 trillion in debt ░░░░░░░░ do have a border ░░░░░░░░ There is a lot ░░░░░░░░ issues that need to ░░░░░░░░ solved TAPPER Yes SHORT ░░░░░░░░ the people who were ░░░░░░░░ as fiscal conservatives really ░░░░░░░░ t Jake I mean ░░░░░░░░ Gaetz to say he ░░░░░░░░ as a fiscal crusader ░░░░░░░░ s more like he ░░░░░░░░ here for the teenage ░░░░░░░░ on Capitol Hill to ░░░░░░░░ honest He s voted ░░░░░░░░ continuing resolutions He s ░░░░░░░░ for omnibus bills He ░░░░░░░░ for trillion of dollars ░░░░░░░░ Covid spending Even this ░░░░░░░░ he put forward an ░░░░░░░░ And yet he s ░░░░░░░░ himself as I m ░░░░░░░░ this for the fiscal ░░░░░░░░ of the country That ░░░░░░░░ not honest The guy ░░░░░░░░ had a distaste for ░░░░░░░░ and he used the ░░░░░░░░ to dethrone him.”
