Republican congressman admits he 'was praying' for 'small' GOP House majority before 2022 midterm elections
Fox News
Republican Montana Rep. Matt Rosendale admitted he "was praying" his party would win just a "small" majority in the House ahead of last year's midterm elections.
"If it was the right majority, that if we had six or seven very strong individuals, we would drag the conference over to the right," he added. Brandon Gillespie is an associate editor at Fox News. Follow him on Twitter at @brandon_cg.
Rosendale went on to praise Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., a frequent critic of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, for being there "from the very beginning helping accomplish that." Gaetz, who was seated next to Rosendale in the video, along with former Trump administration official Steve Bannon, introduced a motion to vacate against McCarthy to remove him from the speakership on Monday.
