"I think it shows exactly who Matt Gaetz is," said McCarthy, who, when asked whether he thinks he would get booed, off the stage, said, "Not at all."

McCarthy said Gaetz acted that way toward him because "he had an ethics complaint four years ago that he paid an underage girl, and she has come to ethics."

"And he came to me to try to leverage me to stop the ethics investigation," McCarthy said. "That’s illegal. I’m not doing that. If I had to lose my job over all the hump, the law — he tried to utilize it."

He added: "Look, everybody has different people in their party. Unfortunately, Matt happens to be here. I think at the end of the day, he probably shouldn’t be on the streets."
