President Donald Trump had given an interview with the Wall Street Journal in which he was asked about the fallout between him and conservative pundit Ann Coulter over ending the shutdown without border wall funding.
Co-host Steve Doocy summarized the attacks from Coulter and the four-letter word she used: "wimp."
Kilmeade reacted to the word with a not-subtle eye roll and a hand gesture but waited for Doocy to read the counterattack Trump offered the Journal, which included calling Coulter "very hostile" and speculating that maybe he didn't "return her phone call or something."
But when Kilmeade, who hosts a show well-known for being closely watched by the president, finally offered his take, it contained more than a touch of irony.
