she couldn't careless about what McCarthy has to

[CarlSanford]

This woman is partially responsible for the rhetoric that caused all this!

[jaycalif]

she went to McCarthy because he's soft and easy pickins. McCarthy does NOT represent the Republican party

[GCHandle]

She’s listening, but she’s not hearing

[etfjxml]

I can’t believe she would show her face there.

[HeetXS]

These people are a fake show. Can you see it?

[scottc]

Going to interview someone and asking questions, but already has all the preconceived vitriolic answers is not an interview and is what's wrong with media today. It's worse than talking to a brick wall.

Welcome to the Matt Gaetz VS Kevin McCarthy's RNC PRIMETIME OCTOGON MATCH

[erincarter]

Why would you interview McCarthy, he abandoned myself and every other constituent in his former district one year before his term would have ended. I guess the party is more important than the constituents like me who have voted for him in the past. He is nothing but a grifter.

[juedwards]

They don’t care about people’s problems unless it affects them personally. Stop blaming the Democrats for what your party did to you McCarthy. Had you not turned on the Democrats, you might could have still been speaker.

What a clickbait title to get us to watch a pointless interview

[BeeKaye]

Everyone is posturing for a position in the new administration. We haven’t forgotten.

[seanwjones]

Claims to be united instantly gets proven wrong by Gaetz 😹😹

[toothguy]

Why would any Republican talk to CNN ??😵‍💫

[BenDorm]

Matt Gaetz wants to know where the young girls are.

[PLegalrep]

Nothing like Gaetz screwing up the whole idea that the party is much more united.

[maplerice]

Divisive rhetoric ... he just took it, didn't even push back

[LindyWithAWhy]

Oh look! A liar interviewing a liar. 🙄

[mikeakey]

Matt Gaetz trolled McCarthy to his face 😂😂😂😂

[Insertednmatrix]

After the 1 Billion dollar lawsuit is settled, all these CNN anchors and staff will be asking you, "Would You like fries with that order?"
