McCarthy accused Gaetz of being 'upset about an ethics complaint' earlier on Wednesday.
"This is about term limits, a balanced budget amendment and single-subject spending bills," said Gaetz."I am the most investigated man in the entire Congress. And right there, you saw Kevin McCarthy lying like a dead dog, because I have never asked him to interfere in any ethics matter."
Gaetz continued to accuse McCarthy of lying and issued another threat to remove him from House leadership after Melber pressed the congressman on whether he had asked McCarthy for"some special handling or treatment in the ethics complaint." "That is an abject lie from a sad and pathetic man who lies to hold on to power," Gaetz responded."He lied to get power in January when he made this agreement, and he's lying now about the basis for breach."
"And you know what?" he continued."Eventually, the lying has to come to an end and the votes are gonna start on a motion to vacate."
