According to some website called politifact:

"This is not accurate. While McCarthy did say that violent video games dehumanize players and can be a factor in mass shootings, he never mentioned that in the context of Japan. We don’t find anything close to this quote in his Aug. 4 appearance on Fox News’ show "Sunday Morning Futures."
.
At one point, McCarthy responded to a question from host Maria Bartiromo about the role video games play in violent behavior. (Read our fact-check about research disproving such a link.)
.
"The idea that these video games that dehumanize individuals to have a game of shooting individuals and others ... I’ve always felt that is a problem for future generations and others," McCarthy responded. "We’ve watched from studies shown before of what it does to individuals. When you look at these photos of how it took place, you can see the actions within video games and others." "
Well, it IS Fox News. You can safely assume anything they report to be an oversimplification of a lie taken out of context that was never actually spoken.
