Rep. Matt Gaetz interrupts ex-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's CNN interview in a tense exchange, asking, "What night are you speaking?"

 Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida made a surprise appearance during former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's CNN interview at Tuesday evening's Republican National Convention. McCarthy was discussing party unity with anchor Kaitlan Collins when Gaetz, known as his political adversary, interjected with a pointed question about McCarthy's speaking schedule.
