McCarthy had initially denied reports that he had considered recommending then-President Trump should resign.
"You have a circumstance where you either have to believe Kevin's statements or your own lying ears," the congressman said."There are a few problems.", so to have a leader so far outside of the conference is itself a problem," Gaetz went on.
However, Gaetz said McCarthy's position might not be impacted by the leaked audio because of the House Minority Leader's ability to raise funds. Gaetz said"the covenant between leadership and Republicans in conference isn't a covenant based on truth or honesty." "The covenant is based on fundraising and Kevin McCarthy is the most elite fundraiser in the history of the Republican conference," he went on, adding that McCarthy's position might be secure if continues to bringing in funds.
He went on to say that McCarthy"really gains his strength not by maintaining some great credibility of truth with people but by ensuring he will always be there with the checks."
