McCarthy: GOP would benefit if Gaetz weren’t around

Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) sharply criticized Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) in a Thursday interview, saying the Republican Party would benefit “tremendously” if Gaetz were not around.

“Tremendously,” McCarthy told CNN’s Manu Raju in an exclusive interview, when asked how much the GOP would benefit if the Florida congressman weren’t around.

“People have to earn the right to be here,” McCarthy continued. “I mean, he’ll admit to you personally, he doesn’t have a conservative bent in his philosophy. And just the nature of what he focuses on.”

We get it, you guys don't like each other. I don't care who you guys like and don't like - try to remember your constituents instead of your own petty BS.

Says Kevin McCarthy who has been on both sides of the abortion issue and back again so many times that people who know him have lost count.

Whereas I think the exact opposite. Gaetz is just what the Republican party needs and it would be a lot better of if McCarthy weren’t around.

You don’t look good in green McCarthy. Jealousy doesn’t suit you.

The party would benefit but not the people.

The thought of what's best for Americans has never even entered big gay Kevin's mind.

This is what McCarthy always was and will always be: a bitter, sanctimonious, GOPe slimebag. This is why Republicans lose elections.

Now they earn a new living attacking those who vanquished them. It is so tiresome.

Took a while least we can finally turn the page on this crew.
