Michael Steele Offers Props to Matt Gaetz After McCarthy Chaos: ‘He Punked the Hell Out of This System’

(via Mediaite)

Michael Steele offered props to Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) on Saturday after the congressman led an effort to oppose Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) as speaker of the House that lasted days and more than a dozen votes.

Steele joined MSNBC’s Ali Velshi on Saturday and had plenty of criticism for Gaetz and others who forced McCarthy’s hand on multiple concessions before he could manage to limp over the finish line.
