Bill O'Reilly criticized Matt Gaetz's qualifications for attorney general, stating, 'He's never done a job like that. It’s a humongous agency; it needs to be drained from top to bottom.' O'Reilly emphasized the serious nature of the position and questioned Gaetz's ability to manage such a task, mentioning, 'He can go in and throw grenades. But, what's he gonna build it up with? He doesn't have that kind of law enforcement experience.' His points raised doubts about Gaetz's readiness for such an important role.
Eric Bolling defended Matt Gaetz, arguing that senators would likely vote to confirm him to avoid upsetting Donald Trump's supporters. He stated, 'Anyone who comes up over the next four years does not want to get into the buzzsaw that is Donald Trump right now.' Bolling noted the powerful influence Trump has on Republican politics, suggesting that fear of backlash from Trump’s base could motivate senators to support Gaetz's confirmation despite the controversies surrounding him.
Following the announcement of his withdrawal from the attorney general nomination, Bolling remarked on Gaetz's situation, highlighting, 'While I would like to point out that Matt Gaetz WITHDREW himself from the nomination process, and our bet was whether or not he would get through the senate confirmation hearings...' This comment reflects Bolling's frustration and the complications that came with the betting outcome, emphasizing the chaotic nature of political maneuvering and the stakes involved.
