Tensions erupt at closed-door House Republican meeting as shutdown nears

Tensions flared within the closed-door meeting of House Republicans on Thursday, highlighting the deep divisions and internal discord within the House GOP conference as they struggle to unite around a plan to prevent a government shutdown.

An altercation between GOP Representative Matt Gaetz and Speaker Kevin McCarthy escalated during the meeting, as reported by an insider present.

Gaetz confronted McCarthy, questioning whether McCarthy’s associates were financially backing conservative influencers who were using social media to criticize Gaetz—an allegation circulating on social platforms and one that the speaker’s office has denied.

According to the source inside the room, McCarthy retorted that he had no intention of investing his time or resources in Gaetz, CNN reported.
