Showing Original Post only (View all)Here is the scoop regarding the Gosar/Gaetz/AOC convo: [View all]
On her floor convo with Rep. Gosar earlier, AOC tells me that McCarthy made claims within the GOP conf. that some Ds would walk away to lower the threshold. Gosar was asking AOC for clarification would she walk away? We would never do that, AOC told me. Jeffries all the way.

EDIT to add:
The scoop is that McCarthy lied and told members he had promises from Dems to vote Present to swing the speakership to him.
AOC apparently talked to leaders in her party and confirmed that never happened.
Likely also why she was talking to Gosar.
