Bill O’Reilly has been in the spotlight today since the news broke he reached settlement with five, yes 5, women who claimed he sexually assaulted them. The settlement payment is reported to be approximately 13 million dollars. As advertisers began to pull their advertising from FOX and the O’Reilly show, one champion for Bill emerges. Guess who? Pussy grabbing Trump, that is who.
“Personally, I think he shouldn’t have settled,” Mr. Trump said in an interview in the Oval Office with Times reporters. “Because you should have taken it all the way; I don’t think Bill did anything wrong.”
“I think he’s a person I know well — he is a good person,” Mr. Trump said.
Trump instead of using the opportunity to publicly take a stance against sexual assault, workplace harassment or misogyny and stand up for the victims–he decides to side with the accused. Are you surprised? This is a man that bragged about grabbing pussy on film which aired during his campaign—and Trumpsters elected him anyway. Can we really be surprised by his depraved character now?
The interesting thing is Trump’s endorsement that O’Reilly is a “good guy” may actually backfire for O’Reilly and FOX. Remember who else Trump called a good guy? Putin, that’s who.
As of this afternoon 30 advertisers have pulled their ads from the O’Reilly Factor. I think it is about time companies start evaluating their relationship with Fox News. What role did Murdock and Fox play in the election of this buffoon? When will the people realize that when FOX uses gimmicks like fear mongering and pushes an alt-right agenda that they are degrading America and all the things that make it great. I am convinced FOX and the FOX FANATICS are one of the reasons (Russia/Putin also playing a role) the US and our Presidency is the laughing stock of the rest of the world.
