"Matt Gaetz (R-FL) defended his opposition to Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) speakership bid on Fox News and said former President Donald Trump is “wrong” to support him for the position.

Gaetz has been the most vocal and visible opponent of the 20 House Republicans who have repeatedly cast votes for other members. On Thursday, the anti-McCarthy faction succeeded in denying him the speakership for the 11th consecutive ballot.

The Trump-backed McCarthy has reportedly bowed to several demands from the holdouts, only to have them keep voting against him. The California Republican needs 218 votes to become the next speaker, which means he can’t afford to lose five members of the GOP conference, let alone 20."
