“Some conservatives are upset” about the decision Trump made to support the Democratic spending bill, Fox & Friends co-host Pete Hegseth said Thursday morning.

“Big time,” Steve Doocy, his co-host, agreed.

“Big time,” Hegseth echoed. “But you know what? This is a clear shot at [Senate Majority Leader] Mitch McConnell and [Speaker of the House] Paul Ryan: ‘Hey guys, if you can’t get things done, then, listen, I’ll go work with the Democrats.’”

“‘And I’ll work with the things like raising the debt ceiling, and the continuing resolution to fund the government, and [Hurricane] Irma,’” Hegseth said, trailing off while listing the various benefits included in the Democratic package. He went on to commend the president for being “very strategic” in working with the House and Senate minority leaders, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.

“Isn’t it refreshing to see them work together, though?” co-host Ainsley Earhardt said.

And then Dobbs chimed in.

“The president not only took RINO [Republican In Name Only] Ryan to the woodshed but eliminated any need for any Republican to ever pretend again that Ryan is a real Republican in any way or that any RINO has a political future after Mr. Trump simply booted the hapless fool of a Speaker out of the way of those trying to get the nation’s business done,” Dobbs said.

“Contrast Ryan’s inane insults, his obstinance and subversion of President Trump to the behavior and rhetoric of Democratic leadership of late,” Dobbs continued. “They’ve calmed themselves. They’ve been far more conciliatory in their rhetoric over recent weekends and now Ryan is fully exposed to the nation.”
