U.S. Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT), chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, joins MSNBC’s Morning Joe and talks with Mike Barnicle about his surprise run for House Speaker in the wake of current Speaker John Boehner’s (R-OH) resignation and replacement favorite Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) perceived gaffes. “What fights, that you just articulated, would you be better at than would Kevin McCarthy—on an ideological basis? Would you be willing to shut down the government over the debt fight?,” asks Mike. Watch the conversation and listen to Congressman Chaffetz’s answers and his approach here.
