‘Well, That Went Well’: Neil Cavuto Reacts to Lindsey Graham Slamming Door in Fox News Colleague’s Face

 

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) was in no mood to take questions about Matt Gaetz on Wednesday, or perhaps ever.

Fox News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram approached Graham outside the Capitol to ask about Gaetz, whom President-elect Donald Trump nominated for attorney general last week. The selection shocked Washington for several reasons, not the least of which was the House Ethics Committee investigation into Gaetz, who resigned from Congress last week. One witness testified to the committee that she saw Gaetz having sex with a 17-year-old girl at a drug-fueled party in 2017 when Gaetz was about 35. Two other witnesses said the congressman paid them for sex. On Wednesday, the committee declined to release the findings of its investigation.

The former congressman, who met with Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, denies all wrongdoing.

Afterward, Pergram approached Graham outside the Capitol as the senator walked toward an SUV.

“How was your meeting?” Pergram asked in a recording that aired on Your World. “What do you have to say about it? Are you concerned about Gaetz at all?”

Graham said nothing, got into the passenger’s side, and slammed the door.

“All right, well that went well,” host Neil Cavuto responded. “Senator Lindsey Graham not speaking – can you believe this? Not speaking to our own Chad Pergram on his meeting today with one Matt Gaetz.”

Graham, who will become chair of the Judiciary in January, said earlier on Wednesday that the confirmation process will not be a “lynch mob.”

Cavuto welcomed to Pergram to the show and reported that Vice President-elect JD Vance “guided Attorney General nominee Matt Gaetz through a series of meetings with senators.”

Your World then played a clip of Pergram interviewing Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN).

“I will be supporting each of these nominees,” she said.

“Are you concerned about any of those allegations?” he asked. “Are you clear that there’s no problem there?”

“Everybody deserves a fair hearing,” she responded. “And I know that as we get into the process of the hearings, you’ll have information that will come up.”
