Bill O’Reilly Can’t ‘Hear A Word’ Rep. Maxine Waters Said Because Of Her ‘James Brown Wig’

Fox & Friends got even more mocking and smearing of Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) than they bargained for when they played a clip of her knocking Donald Trump and then prompted Bill O’Reilly to go after her. UPDATED: O'Reilly has apologized. Or maybe not.

At about four minutes into O’Reilly’s nine-minute visit to Fox & Friends this morning, the Trump Friends played a clip of Waters saying, in essence, that dissent and opposition to Trump is patriotic.

In typical Fox fashion, instead of addressing the issue she was speaking to, the totally fair and balanced group of four Trump supporters attacked Waters.

“I love her. Maxine Waters should have her own sitcom,” O’Reilly jeered. He mock cheered her as the clip played.

After it was over, O’Reilly sneered, “I didn’t hear a word she said. I was looking at the James Brown wig.”

Cohosts Brian Kilmeade and/or Steve Doocy could be heard laughing off camera.

“It’s the same one,” Doocy ragged.

“He’s not using it any more,” either Kilmeade or Doocy said.

“They finally buried him,” Kilmeade said.

That was too much even for cohost Ainsley Earhardt, who once defended housing segregation on Fox. “I’ve got to defend her,” Earhardt now said about Waters. “You can’t go after a woman’s looks. I think she’s very attractive.”

“I didn’t say she wasn’t attractive,” O’Reilly protested. “I love James Brown but it’s the same hair.”

I’ll bet some of O'Reilly's best friends are black, too.

This comes after Fox recently fired its comptroller, after 19 years on the job, because it suddenly discovered her racism. As I wrote in an earlier post, if Fox really cares about taking "appropriate action” against such behavior, it should consider addressing the racism streaming out of its own airwaves:

Maybe he’d hear what she said better if he’d trim his old man ear bush with his head tilted toward the sink and not at the ceiling. Those loose hairs pile up and congeal into his ear wax and form a plug.

I don’t have a problem with Bill O’Reillys comment on Maxine Waters hair. Sounds like a joke without a laugh. Probably one of many for BOR. It wasn’t the Don Imus nappy headed ho’s level of indignation. For white liberals, we should not delve into the weeds of ‘nappy’ too deeply. Bill did not say the nail scratching, eye clawing word ‘nappy’.

I can’t read what anyone is writing here because I can’t get past pasty-faced O’Reilly looks like Chester the Molester. 👍

Actually BillO, I think your hearing problems stem more from the fact you have your head up your ass, than Congresswoman Waters’ hairstyle . . .

Doors, I can see you are a connoisseur of bad hair. Luntz and Trump are awful, but how about Gowdy? What is going on there? And Hannity- who says
“I’ll have the Herbert Hoover’” when he goes to the barbershop.

Any other reputable program would have fired this racist long ago instead of paying his court costs for sexual harassment. Like Trump, he’s rich and powerful and continues to insult women because he keeps getting away with it.

If people like Maxine and others would respond back to the likes of O’Reilly and any Fox news people with vulgarity like you can kiss the center of my [email protected]@, or F U and say I don’t give a F**k what you any of you say, they would leave them alone.

Maybe Bildo will invite Ms. Watters over to drink some mother-f*ing iced tea.

So Junior O’Reilly will address this on his show tonight. How about saying—- “My daddy Bill Sr. taught me back in the 50s, that them people all look alike”—- That would play with Junior’s audience.

I wonder if Bill, Doocy, and Kilmeade have the same issue when speaking to Frank Luntz? Or Trump and his cotton candy piss colored hair?

This should win the next outrageous quote contest. God what an awful person he is.
