During a Sunday morning interview on Fox News, McCarthy remarked, "I blame Matt Gaetz for lying to the president about his ethics report. People know that." He suggested that Gaetz's actions motivated his ousting of McCarthy from the speakership and ultimately led to the collapse of his nomination for attorney general, insisting that those in Congress recognized the implications of Gaetz's alleged misconduct.
McCarthy continued, saying, "That's why he made the motion against me. People know. That's why he's not capable of even staying in Congress. He needed an excuse to resign because the ethics report would be done in a couple of days." This statement highlights the longstanding tensions and rivalries within the GOP, especially between himself and Gaetz.
