Bill O’Reilly and Mediaite founding editor Colby Hall went at it on Thursday over President Donald Trump routinely forgoing congressional approval. The U.S. incursion into Venezuela — and subsequent capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro — has been the subject of intense scrutiny. Critics of the move have called out Trump for going ahead with the operation without first seeking congressional approval. In a Monday column , Hall cited Trump’s actions and described a “sense that guardrails once assumed to be firm are no longer holding.” Appearing on Thursday’s episode of O’Reilly’s No Spin News , Hall argued that Trump’s actions were a textbook example of overreach. O’Reilly, on the other hand, insisted that such actions were necessary when national security is a concern. He added that Trump likely would not have been given the approval to invade Venezuela, thus justifying his decision to carry out the mission without it. The conversation continued: HALL: I’m old enough to remember when states’ rights were a big talking point on the right; and now, that’s gone away, right? Suddenly, we don’t care about states rights’ and their ability about stuff and now issue if you are situational. You are you are basically making situational decisions about stuff– O’REILLY: Well, it depends on the issue. HALL: No, it– that’s situational. You are basically making situational decisions. And honestly, previously what you just said, you just basically said Trump doesn’t want to take Madura to Congress because he knows he won’t get what he wants. I’m sorry, you don’t get to pick and choose what the Constitution says– O’REILLY: You do if you have national security concerns behind you! Yes, you do! HALL: Yeah, but that’s very subjective, and to say that there was a national security threat by Maduro, I think is hyperbole at best. I think it’s absurd. On Wednesday, Senate Republicans blocked a measure that would require Trump to get approval on further action in Venezuela.
