Newt Gingrich: House GOP ‘tackled their own quarterback,’ doubts rebel caucus will be happy with anybody

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich calls out rebel caucus after its’ ousting of Kevin McCarthy from speakership. Gingrich comments that the main challenge for the next speaker moving forward will be to unite the vary factions of the Republican Party, many who are in Democratic heavy districts. Saying, “the fact that 96% of the Republicans voted for Kevin McCarthy tells you something about McCarthy's real strength and what he delivered. And the fact that eight republicans, [who] were outnumbered 24-to-1, eight Republicans decided they were so pure, so smart, so patriotic, that they could side with the Democrats to defeat the Republican Speaker, and still pretend that they're Republicans, it poses a huge problem for the party. The margin is so narrow, that if [the new speaker is] going to get up every morning, knowing that eight guys feel comfortable trying to destroy you. How are you going to govern? They have psychologically made the Democratic leader, the Speaker of the House.”
