The former Republican speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy, joins us today to discuss a viral moment that happened just earlier in the week. This incident involves his colleague, Matt Gates, who led the push for McCarthy's ouster in the speakership and taunted him during a convention. Gates boldly stated that if McCarthy took the stage, he would get booed off.
As the tension rises, one wonders, how did McCarthy react to this bold claim? McCarthy described Gates as "unhinged" and expressed concerns about his behavior, even questioning if he was under the influence of something. However, McCarthy's main focus was on the justice that the young women involved in the House Ethics Committee investigation deserve. This investigation involves Gates' partner who is currently in jail for paying underage women for sex and drugs.
But doesn't Gates deserve the presumption of innocence? McCarthy argues that with people already in jail and the women having confirmed the allegations, it's hard to ignore the evidence. He even revealed that Gates had approached him, suggesting that if McCarthy still wanted to be speaker, he could have stopped the investigation. However, McCarthy maintains that he doesn't get involved in ethics matters, and it's Congress's responsibility to handle such investigations.
The conversation takes a turn as we discuss Gates' recent appearance on the stage, despite the ongoing controversy. McCarthy acknowledges that Gates did speak and even sat with Trump in the box. But is he concerned that Gates is getting a platform, even with the concerns about his behavior? McCarthy emphasizes that his main concern is Gates' actions with young women, stating that it doesn't matter which party you're in, such behavior is not acceptable.
As we delve deeper, the question arises, does McCarthy think anyone in Congress wants to be around Gates? Does he think people want to associate with him? McCarthy acknowledges that everyone knows about Gates' challenges, but he questions whether the RNC should have given him a speaking spot. He clarifies that it was the Trump campaign's decision, not the RNC's.
Before we conclude this conversation, let's address the elephant in the room. Should Gates, who is facing such serious allegations, have been given a primary speaking role? McCarthy reiterates that it was the Trump campaign's decision to give Gates a speaking spot, and they are responsible for that choice.
In conclusion, McCarthy's response to the viral moment involving Gates shows a clear stance on the allegations and the investigation. His main concern is for the justice that the young women deserve. While he acknowledges that Gates has a platform, he emphasizes that such behavior is not acceptable, regardless of party affiliation. As for Gates' speaking role, McCarthy leaves it to the Trump campaign to explain their decision. What do you think? Should Gates have been given a speaking spot, or should he have been held accountable for his actions? Let us know in the comments below.
