"We consider comments of that kind made by Fox News' journalist unacceptable and offensive," said spokesman Dmitry Peskov. "And, frankly, we would like to receive an apology addressed to the president from such a respected network." "I'm working on that apology, but it may take a little time," he said on Monday's 'The O'Reilly Factor'. "Might want to check in with me around 2023." As for Trump's response that "What do you think, our country is so innocent?," O'Reilly said the President was "straightforward and honest in that interview. whether you liked his answers or not." The anchor also shared new segments from the interview including one in which Trump seemingly confirmed that the Affordable Care Act wouldn't be replaced until next year.
