Matt Gaetz's Feud with Kevin McCarthy Intensifies at Republican National Convention
Clash Between Conservative and Establishment Republicans Comes to a Head
Gaetz Continues to Challenge McCarthy's Leadership Amid Convention Chaos
The feud between former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) has taken center stage at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland. The clash between the conservative and establishment wings of the party has escalated in recent days, with Gaetz continuing to challenge McCarthy's leadership amid the convention's chaos.
Gaetz, a staunch supporter of Donald Trump, has been a vocal critic of McCarthy, accusing him of being too close to the Republican establishment. He has also questioned McCarthy's handling of the House Benghazi investigation and his support for the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal.
McCarthy, meanwhile, has defended his record as Speaker and has accused Gaetz of playing politics at a time when the party should be united behind Trump. He has also dismissed Gaetz's attacks as "sour grapes" and has said that he will not be distracted by them.
The feud between Gaetz and McCarthy is likely to continue throughout the convention, as both men seek to rally support for their respective positions. It remains to be seen whether the feud will have any lasting impact on the Republican Party, but it is clear that it is a major source of tension within the party.
