Things are heating up…

Tensions between Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) hit an all-time high during a closed-door conference meeting.

A source familiar with the meeting said “fireworks” occurred when Gaetz rose to accuse McCarthy and his allies of waging an online campaign against him using “MAGA influencers paid to attack Matt” on social media.

McCarthy denied the claim and dismissed Gaetz. “McCarthy said he wouldn’t waste his time on Gaetz like that,” the source told Fox News Digital.

Another source at the meeting said that McCarthy told Gaetz, “Tomorrow I’m spending my time giving $5 million [to GOP candidates and members] to expand our majority. What are you doing to help our majority?”

The second source said that other members also had expressed frustration with Gaetz. One lawmaker told Gaetz to “f— off,” the source said, while another called him a “scumbag.”

Gaetz seemed to confirm to reporters he and McCarthy had had the exchange when he left the meeting. 

“I asked him whether or not he was paying those influencers to post negative things about me online,” Gaetz said. 

He also confirmed that McCarthy had said he would not waste his time: “Yeah, that is what he said.”

Asked whether he felt frustration with McCarthy during the exchange and the aftermath, Gaetz said: “My blood pressure is like 120 over 80. So I’m feeling great.”
