Wednesday on Fox News Channel’s “The O’Reilly Factor,” host Bill O’Reilly said the hatred towards President Donald Trump had reached a “dangerous level.”
O’Reilly said, “Here’s a question I would like posed to the American people. Do you believe that the hatred towards President Trump has reached a dangerous level in this country? The answer is yes. Whether you like the president or not, it is brutally unfair to undermine his administration, some of his opponents are trying to do. We have the Democratic party refusing to cooperate on anything. Now, it looks like Senate rules will have to be changed to appoint Judge Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court because not enough Democrats will support the man. It is clear that Judge Gorsuch is qualified. It is also clear the most powerful Democrat in Congress, Senator Chuck Schumer, would look askance at any of his colleagues who support the judge.”
“Many Democratic senators fear Mr. Schumer,” he continued. “As fair-minded people will concede, there was hatred towards President Obama. There was. But in the first months of his tenure, there was no apparent undermining of his administration. But now, we have a climate of hatred where there are no rules, and the media feeds the beast every single day. As a historian, I can tell you I have never seen the national press despise a president more than they do Donald Trump. Richard Nixon might have come close at the end of his term but what we have now is unfair and destructive for America. Hate should not be part of the political landscape.”
