  His real comment was he'd resign if the Democrats break ranks and elect McCarthy.  "I will resign...  That's how certain I am.  I can assure your viewers: That won't happen."
  He used a rhetorical device to make a point.  He wasn't making a power play (If you don't do what I want, I'm going home!) because he has no power in this context.  Now, do I believe he will actually stand behind his statement?  Not at all.
  What I find more amusing is his statement about why he isn't supporting McCarthy.  "If you want to drain the swamp, you cannot put the biggest alligator in charge of the exercise.  I'm a Florida man.  I know of what I speak."  (emphasis mine)
context: Matt Gaetz also says he didn’t travel across state lines with an underage girl for sex. But he did. >
  
  And yet he's still free. I wonder if he resigned if that meant he'd have no protection from the law anymore. After all, rules for thee >
  
  His dad is still a former politician who has pull and he's got plenty of money to keep his son from ever seeing a prison cell. >
  
  Real life Sin City type shit >
  
  God damn that's accurate and also makes me want to re-watch the first Sin City asap.  While I didn't completely hate the second one I was so incredibly disappointed with the sequel >
  
  Holy shit I had hard blocked the second one out of memory, I legitimately was confused when you mentioned a second one. Until I realized I had seen it in theaters, it just sucked so bad I completely forgot it's existence. Like the sequel to 300 >
  
  All I remember from the second Sin City was Eva Green >
  
  All anyone remembers about a movie with Eva Green is her boobs. >
  
  That's not true.  I also remember her eyes. >
  
  Right. Because he wouldn't, you know, LIE
