In a candid discussion on the PBD Podcast, former Speaker Kevin McCarthy reflected on the fallout from Rep. Matt Gaetz's motion to vacate, emphasizing the personal impact of Gaetz's actions. He stated, "It's unfortunate that one person would utilize something to stop what was coming after them and disrupt the entire Congress," indicating that he feels wronged by Gaetz's motivations which he believes were driven by self-interest rather than party loyalty.
McCarthy articulated the depth of the rift between him and Gaetz, stating firmly, "I don't hang around with pedophiles, I'm sorry," which underscores his strong disapproval of Gaetz's character and actions, particularly in light of the ethics investigation that had surrounded Gaetz prior to McCarthy's ousting.
