Kevin McCarthy gets enough votes for Speaker of the House, Congressman rushes Matt Gaetz
AP
The House of Representatives started to look like a UFC fight Friday night when a member of Congress had to be physically restrained from attacking one of his colleagues.
It took place late Friday night after the 14th vote for Speaker of the House...where Kevin McCarthy again failed to get the required number of votes.

Rep. Mike Rogers (Republican, Alabama), a McCarthy supporter, was eyeing Matt Gaetz...who partly led the opposition to McCarthy and voted no.

Rogers watched Gaetz chat with McCarthy and apparently saw Gaetz say the word "committee." It's unclear exactly what the 2 were talking about, but Gaetz was on the House Armed Services Committee, which Rogers chairs. It looks like McCarthy and Gaetz have reached an agreement.
