GOP Rep. Dusty Johnson Slams Matt Gaetz: He’s Trying ‘an Unauthorized Coup’
EXCERPT:
JOHNSON: "First off, let's make sure we're clear about the math. There are 10 times more Republicans backing Kevin McCarthy than are backing Matt Gaetz, at least 10 times more, maybe 15 or 20 times more. Yeah, Matt Gaetz is going to try an unauthorized coup. He is trying to get some of the most liberal voices on the Democratic side to help him. I know Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been a vocal supporter of his efforts. To answer your question, I do think there will be a number of Democrats who understand that this kind of chaos does not serve our country well, that we've got a southern border in crisis and we only have the government funded for 40 more days. Maybe we should actually focus on solving a few problems than these kind of D.C. parlor games."
