Kevin McCarthy: Matt Gaetz Planned This All Along, He Would Have Done It If We Were in Shutdown or Not

EXCERPT:

McCARTHY: "Well, why not? You know, look, I think Matt has planned this all along. It didn’t matter what we transpired. He would have done it if we were in shutdown or not. I firmly believe it's the right decision to keep government open, to make sure our military is still paid, our border agents are still paid. And if that makes a challenge based upon whether I should be speaker, I’ll take that fight."
