Trump on Matt Whitaker’s TV Appearances: Does that Mean We Have to Hire Someone in a ‘Shell?’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: “The fact you go on Fox or CNN or MSNBC or anybody, you make a comment, you’d have nobody left to choose. You’d have absolutely nobody left. I see different people at different times going on shows. Am I supposed to say, 'Oh, now he is never qualified to serve in government?' So all the time, I’m watching many different people going on many different shows saying many different things. That doesn’t mean they’re unqualified. Now, in all fairness to Matt Whitaker, who again, I didn’t know other than through reputation. His reputation is excellent. But in all fairness to him, he did some shows, so did many of the people that you’re talking about, so did everybody that — you’re talking about a permanent position. I think everybody looking at a permanent position in any department has done many shows. Does that mean we can’t hire anybody? We have to hire somebody that's in a shell? I don’t think so."
