Matt Gaetz on Tuesday night angrily denied that he had worked to unseat Kevin McCarthy in revenge for McCarthy failing to protect him.
Gaetz, 41, is facing a House Committee inquiry into allegations of sexual misconduct, use of illegal drugs, and misuse of funds.
Gaetz has argued that the two-year, wide-ranging inquiry into his conduct is the work of McCarthy and his allies, who he argues are bent on smearing him.
A parallel investigation by the Justice Department into allegations of sex trafficking and sex with a minor was dropped in February, when prosecutors concluded they did not have enough evidence to bring charges.
McCarthy on Monday insisted once again he could not block the investigation into Gaetz: on Tuesday, after he was ousted, McCarthy said it was because Gaetz had a personal dislike of him.
Gaetz on Tuesday said that was 'an urban legend', and angrily denied moving against McCarthy as revenge for McCarthy failing to block the ethics investigation.

Yellow journalism at its finest.
The slander attempts, by the DNCCP against Matt Gaetz, were laughably bogus.
They treat him just like they treat Trump.
I think McCarthy would bend over backwards (pun intended) for protecting Santos while encouraging fabrication against Gaetz.
Well, just to be certain, let's have a comprehensive audit of Mister Gaetz' campaign fund distributions and also a thorough and detailed blood test for any and all drugs of abuse.
Priority for rapid completion - high, results to be released, un-censored, real-time.
America wants to know.
He’s been in Congress since 2010, and I’ve heard none of this about my district’s Congressman until this year.
Let's hope President Trump will replace Mcarthy. Sounds like Matt Gaetz will be going to jail at some point. I hope he can be replaced.
Russell Brand, Tim Ballard, Matt Gaetz....I’m sensing a pattern here.
This investigation dates back to 2021 (prior to the Rs winning the House and McCarthy becoming speaker):
There were matters preceding this investigation. But, given the guy’s brash style, the prior matters, and the current matters also, might simply be grist for the mill.
I never trusted Gaetz, but I trust the accusers against him less.
It’s hypocrisy in action that there hasn’t been nearly the scrutiny for the Biden Family Syndicate that they had with the false allegations against Matt Gaetz. It is typical of the Marxist fools who throw truth to the wind in order to kill the MAGA movement.
We must know that there is an agenda to grind America down.
All I know is that the President Pro Tempore of the Senate is now second in line to the Presidency - since the Speaker has now been vacated. If anyone here knows who that is, then there should be a small sense of panic when the nationwide emergency alert goes off tomorrow. 😜
10-4.
Just like Thanksgiving Eve 2020:
“STFA from everybody.
Don’t have Thanksgiving dinner and if you do; don’t you dare lower your MagikMasks until actually taking a bite (and then immediately raise it up again) because if you don’t
YOU MIGHT KILL GRAMMA!”
Let’s do it for all Congresspeople as many seem like they might be on drugs.
“President Pro Tempore of the Senate”

Well that would be the incredibly STUPID Patty Murray.
This absolutely precedes the McCarthy speaker situation in 2023.
Second in line would be Camel HairaSs.

Wrong. That loser is the Vice-President. The VP is first in line to the Presidency.
