Donald Trump said that Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) may have done a “tremendous favor” for the House Republicans by ousting Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), the Tampa Free Press reports.
Said Trump: “Well, he was upset that Kevin was doing a lot of the Obama work, he was working on the budget and getting something approved that, you know, we could have gotten a lot for, and the debt ceiling, everybody was hurt with that.”
He added: “At the same time, Kevin’s a great guy, he is a wonderful guy, but people were hurt by that. It depends, I mean, on how good the new speaker, whoever that may be, how good he does. Maybe we’ll end up with one of the great speakers of all time, in which case Matt Gaetz did a tremendous favor.”
