Sexual predator Trump defends accused predator OReilly: I dont think Bill did anything wrong
By Tommy Christopher |
APRIL 5, 2017
On the heels of a New York Times report on the millions of dollars that have been paid to sexual harassment accusers on behalf of Bill O'Reilly, Sexual-Predator-in-Chief Donald Trump is defending O'Reilly, and potentially harming all survivors of sexual crimes.
Fox News host Bill OReilly is in a heap of trouble, after years of sexual harassment accusations finally caught up to him in the form of a New York Times exposé detailing the $13 million that has been paid out to his accusers over the years.
That story has resulted in a mass exodus of advertisers that now stands at twenty, and in an unusual twist, these companies are explicitly citing OReillys misconduct allegations in their statements.
OReilly does have at least one friend left, though, and he is a powerful one: Donald Trump, himself a self-professed sexual assailant and violator of intimate privacy, defended OReilly in a New York Times interview that took place in the Oval Office:
I think hes a person I know well he is a good person, said Mr. Trump, who during the interview was surrounded at his desk by a half-dozen of his highest-ranking aides, including the economic adviser Gary Cohn and the chief of staff, Reince Priebus, along with Vice President Mike Pence.
I think he shouldnt have settled; personally I think he shouldnt have settled, said Mr. Trump. Because you should have taken it all the way. I dont think Bill did anything wrong.

Think of Bill Clinton after Lewinsky telling the NYT that Cosby is a good person and shouldn't be picked on by horrible women.

"Think of Bill Clinton"? Not me, I only remember the grace of his wife, Hillary.

Just thinking of an analogy where the shoe was on the other foot.

Not sure what hole they have their heads stuck in!
