“I’m very honored by it. He’s a very smart guy, a different kind of a guy,” the former president says in a teaser posted on Instagram. “Will I have him in the administration? It’s possible. We haven’t really discussed that, but it’s possible.”
Social media users had split reactions in the comments section of McGraw’s post, with one user commenting “Shame on YOU Dr. Phil!!!” while another wrote “Love Dr.Phil so glad he’s on the Light side and not the dark side.”
McGraw’s Instagram post promoting an Aug. 20 interview with Rudy Giuliani garnered similar outrage from commenters.
