It’s not just MSNBC anymore. The Republican-led U.S. House of Representatives is even losing support from Fox News, whose hosts and commentators are questioning the legislative body’s ability to get anything done.
Bill O’Reilly used his airtime Thursday night to ask why the GOP can’t rise above “hate” long enough to actually get things done.
“We have two parties that are both supposed to be working together for the good of the people, not to destroy one another. That’s not our system. But now nothing can get done,” O’Reilly said to Republican strategist Kate Obenshain.
Obenshain responded that this was the result of divisive language and name-calling from the left, prompting O’Reilly to ask if the conservatives should rise above it and saying there’s “plenty of hate on both sides.”
Obenshain responded, “No, there’s not, actually.” O’Reilly fired back and said, “If you don’t know there’s plenty of hate on both sides, I can’t help you.”
Charles Krauthammer continued the harsh words Thursday on Fox News’ “Special Report.”
“It is ridiculous to sue the president on a Wednesday because he oversteps the law, as he has done a dozen times illegally and unconstitutionally, and then on a Thursday say that he should overstep the law, contradict the law that passed in 2008 and deal with this [the border] himself,” Krauthammer said.
Krauthammer’s comments follow the House GOP leaders’ decision to pull a border security bill because they didn’t have enough votes. At the time House Republicans released a statement that said more action is required by Obama.
“It is, to me, incomprehensible why Republicans aren’t getting together on this,” Krauthammer continued.
