House GOP standing by their man

GOP Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, who’s also close to McCarthy (R-Calif.), said simply that “I’m for Donald Trump being the next president and Kevin McCarthy being the next speaker.”

“Nobody’s talking about it,” Rep. Rodney Davis (R-Ill.) told Olivia and Sarah. “And frankly, I can’t wait till Speaker McCarthy is sworn in.”…

One dissenter Tuesday night was Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), who McCarthy said was “putting people in jeopardy” in the wake of the insurrection.

“Rep. McCarthy and Rep. Scalise held views about President Trump and me that they shared on sniveling calls with Liz Cheney, not us,” Gaetz said in a statement. “This is the behavior of weak men, not leaders.”
