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”
