“I didn’t know how this was controversial,” McCarthy said on “Fox and Friends.” “Frank has been a friend of mine for more than 30 years. I met him with Newt Gingrich back when they were working on the Contract with America,” he added, referring to the former GOP Speaker from Georgia.
The minority leader said, “Democrats took over, they started changing the House around.”
“And so, yes, I’ve rented a room from Frank for a couple of months but don’t worry, I’m back to – going back to where I normally am, on my couch in my office,” he said. “But, yes, we pay fair market rate.”
