[UPDATE: VIDEO] – Kevin McCarthy reveals the real reason why he was ousted as House Speaker

Kevin McCarthy reportedly gave the real reason, from his perspective, why he was ousted as House Speaker last year.

Via Ben Jacobs, McCarthy said hew as vacated because “one person wanted me to stop an ethics complaint because he slept with a 17 year old.”

But there’s no way to know who McCarthy was talking about unless he spills the beans, which he is very unlikely to do.

 
UPDATE: I didn’t pick up on the fact that McCarthy was talking about Matt Gaetz. Doh! Sorry, about that. Below is the video of McCarthy actually saying this:
