McCarthy-Gaetz Feud Continues On RNC Convention Floor
Unity! It seems Matt Gaetz wasn't too thrilled with Kevin McCarthy talking about his ethics complaint during some Republican on Republican action on the RNC Convention floor this Tuesday. The two have been going at it ever since Gaetz helped orchestrate McCarthy's ouster as Speaker.
McCarthy was speaking to CNN's Kaitlan Collins discussing the fact that Gaetz has an ethics complaint "about sleeping with a 17-year-old," and Gaetz basically marched over and attempted to interrupt the interview and keep McCarthy from talking to CNN about him.
In a clip posted on social media by NewsNation’s Joe Khalil, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) can be seen repeatedly trying to interrupt former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy as he’s being interviewed by a CNN reporter on the convention floor, loudly delivering the same taunt over and over as he realizes it’s failing to land.
“Hey, Kevin, what night are you speaking?” Gaetz yells, physically butting his way into the conversation.
McCarthy, who is not scheduled to speak at the convention, doesn’t respond.
“What night are you speaking?” Gaetz repeats.
McCarthy ignores him and proceeds with the interview, prompting Gaetz to try again: “Are you speaking tonight? No?”
