The video shows Gaetz approaching McCarthy and asking, "Hey Kevin, what night are you speaking? Are you speaking tonight?" Despite attempts to redirect the conversation, Gaetz persisted in his line of questioning.
Here's What They're Not Telling You About Your Retirement
With tensions rising, Gaetz made a daring statement, suggesting that if McCarthy were to take the stage, he would face a less-than-warm reception from the audience. "If you took that stage, you would get booed off of it," Gaetz asserted, repeating his prediction for emphasis.
As of 7:15 Eastern time, the video already has 2 million views.

I know that many are calling for ‘Unity’.
How can that occur while hundreds, maybe thousands of patriotic, hard working American citizens are languishing in fedgov gulags for simply protesting while MILLIONS of illegal aliens swarm across our borders only to be welcomed by the demoncrats??
McCarthy needs to head to Chicago that’s the convention he needs to be in not the GOP’S.
Gaetz, like Republican voters, is SICK TO DEATH of traitorous (to the party), surrendering RINOS like McCarthy.
The ONLY reason that the radical democratic/socialist/communist left is calling for unity is to buy time to regroup and let normal Americans forget what they have done up to this point.
While I appreciate Matt Gaetz most of the time, that was rude. McCarthy was being interviewed…..
Rude, probably. Accurate, absolutely!
Do nothing McCarthy was all over Fox news with all the other RINOS.
