Congressman Maxwell Frost Statement on Removal of Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House
WASHINGTON D.C — Today, Congressman Maxwell Alejandro Frost (FL-10) released a statement following the successful House vote to remove Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House.
In a statement, Rep. Frost says:
“You reap what you sow, and Kevin McCarthy only has himself to blame.
“McCarthy will go down as one of the weakest speakers in the history of our nation, all because he sold his soul to hold the gavel and, in that process, abandoned his own values and the ability to govern.
“I will never vote to save a Speaker that refuses to act while innocent children are murdered at the hands of gun violence, while LGBTQ+ are under attack for who they love, and while working folks struggle to make ends meet under rising housing costs.
“House Democrats are united in the call for Leader Hakeem Jeffries to be our next Speaker. And while we are ready to get to work on behalf of our communities and the American people, House Republicans are in disarray.”
