| Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.) said Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) should be re-elected as House Speaker, noting the Louisiana Republican "inherited a disaster."

"Yes, and yes," he replied. "The fact is that Mike Johnson inherited a disaster when Matt Gaetz and several of my colleagues teamed up with 208 Democrats to remove Kevin McCarthy, which will go down as the single stupidest thing I've ever seen in politics." |
