Fox News is usually friendly territory for Michele Bachmann, but two commentators, Bill O'Reilly and Geraldo Rivera, have pushed back against the Minnesota Republican for calling BP's $20 billion escrow fund "extortion" by the Obama administration.

The videos are below:

"Whoa, I mean, extortion? Shakedown? Look, if the executive branch, the presidency, isn't going to force BP to pony up the money, who would?" O'Reilly asked Bachmann at the start of their interview.

Rivera told Bachmann his show was a fan of hers, "but clearly, by comparing the White House negotiations for a $20 billion escrow account to extortion, you have overstepped the bounds of even rhetoric." (The interview starts at the 3:59 mark.)
