Kevin McCarthy takes parting swipe at Matt Gaetz in final interview as congressman: 'History will judge him'

Rep. Kevin McCarthy joined "One Nation" host Brian Kilmeade for an exit interview where he criticized Rep. Matt Gaetz and other Republicans who voted to oust him as House speaker.

The California Republican sat down with "One Nation" for his final interview as a congressman, touching on the most pressing issues facing Congress and the country. Kilmeade asked about Gaetz criticizing his decision to leave Capitol Hill, saying it posed a "very real math problem" for Republicans who only have a slim majority in the lower chamber. Taylor Penley is an associate editor with Fox News.

"Gatez is never a serious person," McCarthy responded. "I mean, when you think about what has transpired, and you talk about someone being selfish, this is all about an ethics complaint that he had a Congress before, that he looked at just himself, that he doesn't want it to come forward for America to know."
