Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., video-bombed former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s interview on CNN during Tuesday evening’s Republican National Convention.
“What you’re seeing here is a more united Republican Party,” the former California representative told anchor Kaitlan Collins on the convention floor before Gaetz, his Republican political rival, interrupted the interview.
In a clip, McCarthy appeared to be discussing his ouster as speaker when Gaetz leaned into the frame.
“What night are you speaking? Are you speaking tonight?” Gaetz mocked.
“The person who raised the issue, he’s got an ethics complaint about paying, sleeping with a 17-year-old. That’s the way they would go, so that’s the biggest challenge we have,” McCarthy continued to Collins, referring to Gaetz while ignoring his taunts.
“If you took that stage you would get booed off of it,” Gaetz shot back.
When asked about the confrontation on NBC News Now, McCarthy responded, “I think it shows exactly who Matt Gaetz is.”
