At the 2024 Republican National Convention, Congressman Matt Gaetz confronted former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, interrupting his interview and taunting him with questions about when he would be speaking at the event.
Gaetz, who was completely ignored by McCarthy, claimed the former speaker would be booed off the stage.
Gaetz’s actions were met with mixed reactions, with some praising his boldness and others criticizing his behavior as immature and inappropriate.
The incident highlighted ongoing tensions within the Republican Party, particularly regarding Gaetz’s dissatisfaction with McCarthy’s handling of an ethics investigation into allegations against Gaetz.
