Rep. Kevin McCarthy's (R-CA) path to the Speaker of the House continues to be a difficult one as a call with the Republican Caucus ended with huge concessions and more debates with Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL).

Politico reporter Olivia Beavers wrote that a GOP source told her that they would only agree to a rules change that would make it easier to topple the Speaker of the House.

Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) reportedly asked Gaetz if Republicans lowered the threshold for the motion to vacate if he would ultimately support McCarthy for Speaker. Gaetz then replied that McCarthy wouldn't agree to it. McCarthy then argued that it's the conference wouldn't find it acceptable.

Gaetz, a Florida Republican, is one of those members who said he would not support McCarthy. During a recent appearance on Steve Bannon's War Room, he detailed exactly why he won't vote in favor of him, raising concerns that he has not done enough to oppose Biden, and described the GOP's opposition to McCarthy as a "break up."

"When someone says, I will never leave, it isn't exactly the battle cry of an inspirational leader. It sounds more like someone who can't accept a breakup. In the case of Kevin McCarthy and the Republican conference, this is no no fault divorce. There are things Kevin McCarthy did to erode the trust of the members he needs to vote for him if he wants to be speaker," the GOP lawmaker said.

Specifically, Gaetz pointed to McCarthy not blocking Democrats from passing budget bills, pushing for immigration bills that included amnesty and not doing more to hold accountable government officials who opposed former President Donald Trump.

"While you see various spasms of conservatism or purported conservatism directed at big tech or [Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas], remember that Kevin McCarthy has been holding up a shield to protect some of the dangerous elements of society that have harmed conservatives. And I don't think that he has passed the test of leadership," Gaetz said.
