Fox host Maria Bartiromo commented Monday on her heated interview with Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) on Sunday over GOP infighting on the budget and Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), saying to Gaetz online, “You made excellent points. My thinking is evolving”
Bartiromo also addressed the controversial interview in remarks on her Fox Business show Mornings With Maria, saying she was rethinking her opposition to Gaetz’s willingness to risk a partial government shutdown in order to rein in government spending.
Gaetz posted a video clip with his comments, “When confronted with our argument on government spending, most smart and open-minded people will convert. Welcome aboard, @MariaBartiromo. Thank you for having me on your program. Tough questions and direct answers will lead us to the truth faster than sophistry. The Plan: • Single Subject Spending Bills • No CR • Hold the line”
