Rep. Tim Burchett said the Fox News host's questioning was 'very negative,' but that didn't stop Kilmeade's aggression.
The host’s intensely confrontational approach with Burchett has been viewed more than 1 million times on X, formerly Twitter. Maybe it’s because of questions like this:, who likes to blow things up but not offer any new ideas. Are you happy following Matt Gaetz? Is that your leader?”
And to Burchett’s claim that he would have led the rebellion if Gaetz hadn’t, an incredulous Kilmeade replied: “Please. You were praying about it one minute. The next minute you’re gonna lead an insurgency?” When Burchett listed off possible candidates to fill the job, Kilmeade again ratcheted up the tension. He said Burchett was just naming people who’d supported McCarthy, including Rep.“Why are you smarter than Jim Jordan and the 210-plus Republicans?” Kilmeade asked, referring to the vast majority of Republicans who backed the now-booted speaker.
Burchett accused Kilmeade of “very negative” questioning, saying the Fox News host was talking over him and “condemning” him.WOAH: Things get testy on Fox News after Brian Kilmeade launches full-scale combative on"You have a predetermined answer to everything...
