Krauthammer on Bundy: ‘It Isn’t Enough to Say I Don’t Agree With What He Said’

KRAUTHAMMER: "I agree entirely with Chuck. First of all, it isn't enough to say I don't agree with what he said. This is a despicable statement. It's not the statement, you have to disassociate yourself entirely from the man. It's not like the words exists here and the man exists here. And why conservatives, some conservatives, end up in bed with people who, you know -- he makes an anti-government statement, he takes an anti-government stand, he wears a nice big hat and he rides a horse and all of the sudden he is a champion of democracy. This is a man who said that he doesn't recognize the authority of the United States of America. That makes him a patriot? I love this country and I love the Constitution and it's the Constitution that established a government that all of us have to recognize. And for him to reject it was the beginning of all of this. And now what he said today is just the end of this. And I think it is truly appalling that as Chuck says, there are times when somehow simply because somebody takes an opposition, a stand, he becomes a conservative hero. You've you got to wait, you've got to watch, you have got to think about. And look, do I have the right to go graze sheep in Central Park? I think not. You have to have some respect for the federal government, some respect for our system. And to say you don't that you don't recognize it, and that makes you a conservative hero to me is completely contradictory and appalling, and he has now proved it."
NAPOLITANO: "I don't necessarily disagree with what they've said about him. In fact, I agree with what they've said about him. But the federal government sent armed agents dressed in military fatigues, pointing armed rifles at Fox News cameras, and silenced people protesting? That's not the Constitution."
KRAUTHAMMER: "Well, when you attack Fox that's different."
