U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Saks., had to be held back by one of his colleagues after confronting Rep. Matt Gaetz during the contentious 14th vote for U.S. House speaker Friday night.
Rogers, one of Kevin McCarthy’s top backers of the California congressman’s bid for speaker, had to be restrained by Rep. Richard Hudson, R.-N.C., as a visibly angry Rogers confronted Gaetz, the Republican congressman from Florida.
Rogers lunged toward Gaetz after McCarthy finished chatting with the Florida congressman, who has withheld support for McCarthy’s bid.
