Billl O’Reilly Warns Trump Can’t Strong-Arm Senate Into Confirming RFK: ‘Most of Those People Will Still Be in Office’ When He Leaves

Bill O’Reilly predicted on Monday that President Donald Trump would not be able to pressure members of the Senate like members of the House and that Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s nomination would not be confirmed.

During an appearance on NewsNation’s On Balance, O’Reilly said:

Lyndon Johnson was brutal when he was a Senate leader. You didn’t do it his way, he’d try to hurt you, destroy you. Nancy Pelosi, one step below Johnson. You didn’t toe her line? No money for you, we’ll primary you. Trump is adopting those techniques because he wants what he wants when he wants it. Now, he will get it in the House, he won’t get it in the Senate.

Asked by host Leland Vittert, “What is gonna be the first thing Republican senators say no to?” O’Reilly replied, “RFK. He’ll go down.”

He explained, “The Senate is six years. Most of those people will be still in office when Donald Trump leaves, so he doesn’t have the cudgel there that he has on a two-year term in the House, ’cause Trump can destroy you. If you look at Liz Cheney, he destroyed her.”

O’Reilly concluded, “So that’s what politics, unfortunately, is all about. No more voting your conscience, no more coming up with a better idea. You go along to get along, and it’s bad. I don’t think it’s good. But at this point in history, the Biden administration was so bad, and I mean awful, and you’ll see that play out in the next few months how bad it was, that it’s almost justifiable to get behind Trump to wipe out Biden’s legacy.”
