Upon hearing the revelation, Gill quickly told the reporter to “get lost.”
“Why don’t you guys go somewhere else to report,” Gill instructed Del Toro. “I’m not talking to you guys at all. Get lost.”
Gill's fiery response wasn't the only reason he made headlines today. The freshman congressman also announced that he is running to chair the House Oversight Committee, one of the most powerful bodies in Congress. A successful bid for the position would give the GOP's rising star even more influence at just 32 years old.
