Matt Gaetz is called an ‘A**hole’ while heckling Kevin McCarthy at RNC

Rep. Matt Gaetz keeps his interests with the ex-Speaker of the House of Representatives Kevin McCarthy alive and well at the RNC, challenging his nemesis on the ground… and getting checked in the same breath.

A few different videos from the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee show Gaetz heckling McCarthy as the former congressman gives a TV interview… interrupting him as he was speaking and mockingly wondering if he would be speaking on Tuesday night.

Gaetz – who led the offense last year Remove McCarthy as Speaker of the House of Representatives – can be overheard taunting KM for his lack of speaking space at the RNC… at which point Gaetz drops the gavel and says… “If you took that stage, you’d be booed off.”

It may have felt like a sweet W to Matt, but just a second later, as he turns around, he’s confronted by an older gentleman who gets right in his face… and tells him a thing or two.

Check it out… the guy tells Gaetz (whom he addresses by his last name, by the way) to stop being an “asshole”… and you can tell Matt is upset by the whole interaction. MG says he doesn’t even know this guy, but the elderly man stands his ground and stares at him.

Eventually, Matt works his way out of the tense situation — but this is literally almost straight out of a movie… a strong-willed do-gooder telling a bully to back off, and as a result — some I think the unnamed man here gained the upper hand over Matt during the exchange.
