Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) reportedly criticized the House's impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden as not something he believed was "legitimate."

Gaetz said he believes the effort is like a "forever war" and will "end in a bloody draw" at a fundraiser on Zoom last week, according to NBC News. The fundraiser with Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-MT) and moderated by podcaster Steve Bannon was held days before Gaetz led an effort to oust Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) from the speakership.

>>>"I don't believe that we are endeavoring upon a legitimate impeachment of Joe Biden," Gaetz said.

"They're trying to engage in a, like, 'forever war' of impeachment. And like many of our forever wars, it will drag on forever and end in a bloody draw," he continued.

The Florida Republican led the eight Republicans and full Democratic House caucus in voting to fire McCarthy on Tuesday in a historic 216-210 vote. Gaetz claimed the reason for the motion to vacate was that McCarthy allegedly made a secret deal on Ukraine funding, but McCarthy said he believed it was personal.
