Ukrainian aid caused confusion in the US
In his speech in the House of Representatives, Gaetz claimed that McCarthy had secretly agreed with US President Joe Biden and House Democrats to approve the spending budget, which included aid to Ukraine.
“The House Speaker approved the money Joe Biden requested for Ukraine to expand his spending and policy priorities,” Gaetz said. he said.
“WHAT WERE THE COMMITMENTS?”
Claiming that McCarthy reached a “secret deal” with the White House and Democrats outside the House, Gaetz said: “Mr. President, tell us what was in the secret deal on Ukraine. “What were the commitments made to President Biden so that he could continue spending?” he posed the question.
Gaetz asked McCarthy to answer these questions, hinting that there could be a vote in Parliament today or within a week to unseat McCarthy.
“Members of the Republican Party may vote differently on impeaching the president depending on what he shares with us about his collusion with Biden,” Florida politician Gaetz said. he gave his message.
“NO HELP”
Some Republicans in Congress criticize the “blank check” policy for Ukraine and call for no more aid to kyiv.
WILL PRESENT DISMISSAL PROPOSAL
Gaetz, who belongs to the far-right group within the Republican Party, opposed McCarthy becoming speaker of the House of Representatives in January.
McCarthy, who had to make some concessions to convince Gaetz and his group, was only able to be elected president after 15 votes.
Among the concessions McCarthy made to Republicans who did not support him becoming president was that a representative’s motion was enough for a vote to unseat him.
Tension between Gaetz and McCarthy has increased recently. Gaetz had implied that McCarthy was not a good leader, arguing that he had made “concessions” to Democrats.
PERSONAL INTEREST CRITICISM
Saying his disagreement with Gaetz was “personal,” McCarthy noted that Gaetz was busy giving television interviews for his personal benefit instead of doing something for the country.
An absolute majority in parliament is required for House Speaker McCarthy to be removed from office. That’s why McCarthy may need the votes of Democratic members. (AA)
