Nebraska Republican warns Matt Gaetz he'll work with Dems if he tanks Kevin McCarthy

Raw Story  

Rep. Don Bacon sent out a warning shot to hardliner opponents of Republican leader Kevin McCarthy that he is prepared to work with Democrats if they remain completely unwilling to compromise. In an editorial for The Daily Caller, Bacon argued that Rep. Matt Gaetz and his four fellow refusers were doing grave harm to the slim Republican majority in the House of Representatives and would leave him with no choice but to seek help from Democrats to build a functional majority in Congress. "But my actual words were that if the five refused to coalesce around what the vast majority of the conference wants, I’m willing to work across the aisle to find an agreeable Republican. Bacon concluded his editorial by encouraging conservatives to direct their frustrations at the small minority of "Never McCarthy" Republicans who are putting the entire party's agenda at risk.
