Gaetz — who led final yr’s cost to oust McCarthy as Home Speaker — might be overheard taunting KM over his lack of a talking slot on the RNC … at which level Gaetz drops the hammer, saying … “In case you took that stage, you’d get booed off of it.”
It would’ve felt like a candy W for Matt — however only a second later, as he is turning round, he is confronted by an older gentleman who will get proper in his face … and tells him a factor or two.
Test it out … the dude tells Gaetz — whom he addresses by final identify, BTW — to cease being an “a**gap” … and you may inform Matt’s thrown off by the entire interplay. MG says he does not even know this fella, however the senior citizen holds his floor … staring him down.
Finally, Matt shimmies his means round and will get out of the tense state of affairs — however that is actually virtually proper out of a film … a strong-willed do-gooder telling a bully to buzz off, and consequently — some assume the anonymous man right here received the higher of Matt within the change.
The identical cannot fairly be mentioned for McCarthy although — dude stays getting clowned. Oof …
