Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) has been adamant that his move to oust former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was rooted in policy disagreements and wasn’t a personal vendetta related to the congressional ethics investigation against him.
In private, he told a different story.
According to private correspondence reviewed by The Daily Beast, Gaetz indicated to a friend that his effort to undercut, isolate, and ultimately remove McCarthy was, indeed, payback for the ethics probe.
His face is the kind of smug that screams he’s never had to face any consequences for his actions in his life.
And those are usually the people most offended by the prospect of having to face the consequences of their own actions…
He has resting smug face.
He’s also very smug.
