The members of Congress who represent the state of Utah are not happy with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy being ousted.
Reps. Blake Moore, John Curtis and Burgess Owens all voted against removing McCarthy — a move that was spearheaded by Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida.
Moore, who represents Utah's 1st Congressional District, shared his disappointment and indicated that he felt it was a step backward for the Republican Party.“Republicans winning the House in 2022 and maintaining our majority are the American people’s only line of defense against Biden’s crippling agenda and massive spending packages. In 2021, Democrats passed the American Rescue Plan Act .
"Today, Matt Gaetz and seven other members put our ability to hold the line against the Biden Administration’s out-of-control agenda in jeopardy by working with Democrats to oust our Republican Speaker instead of moving forward with votes on our conservative policies and appropriations bills.
