'Living a lie': Matt Gaetz appears to out fellow Republican colleague on podcast

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) took a swipe at House Ways and Means Chair Jason Smith (R) on his podcast Thursday — and heavily implied that he is a closeted gay man, although Gaetz did not say this outright and did not provide any hard evidence of this.

Gaetz began with complaining that Smith, who was highly critical of his motion to remove Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) from the House speakership, had said on the Marc Cox Morning Show "if Matt Gaetz's lips are moving, it's only lies that's coming out of it. That gentleman only likes to propel himself and propagandists. He sounds like a Democrat ... the blood is on his hands for 22 wasted days."

Gaetz hit back.
