South Carolina House Republican Just Called Matt Gaetz A Fraud

Congresswoman Nancy Mace burrowed into fellow Republican Reps. Matt Gaetz and George Santos in the aftermath of the chaotic vote for Speaker of the House.

Mace joined Face the Nation on Sunday to speak with CBS’s Margaret Brennan about the negotiations and the dramatics before GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy finally secured enough votes to become Speaker. Since the House Freedom Caucus was able to draw significant concessions from McCarthy throughout this saga, Brennan asked Mace if she would be able to work with the likes of Gaetz — whom she called a “D-lister” and a fraud over his rebellion against McCarthy — as well as Marjorie Taylor Greene.

“It’s going to be very difficult,” Mace answered frankly. She then doubled down on her previous comments by saying “Matt Gaetz is a fraud.”
