Newt Gingrich: 8 McCarthy Ousters 'Unleashed Furies' in House GOP

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., proclaimed on Sunday the eight House Republicans who voted to oust former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., "unleashed furies" in the GOP conference.

"Well, right now, [the House] can't govern," Gingrich told "Fox News Sunday."

"And I think that the eight people who betrayed the conference and joined the Democrats to defeat the 96% of the conference unleashed furies that I don't think they'd even dreamed of, because it gave every person the right to be equally destructive and equally angry."

Gingrich said the House GOP should've stayed in the session last week after voting to no longer back Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, as the party's speaker-designate.

"When they get back here, they should stay," Gingrich continued. "[They] should go into a conference, not come out. Bring food in and stay there.
