O’Reilly Apologizes For Mocking Maxine Waters’ Hair – Then Attacks Her As A Shiftless Demagogue

After mocking Rep. Maxine Waters’ “James Brown wig” this morning, Bill O’Reilly apologized tonight. But then he began attacking her again, calling her a “demagogue,” questioning her patriotism and suggesting she’s some kind of welfare pimp.

As I previously posted, O’Reilly mocked Waters this morning by saying he couldn’t “hear a word she said” because “I was looking at the James Brown wig.”

Tonight, O’Reilly apologized to Waters:

O’REILLY: I made that mistake this morning on Fox & Friends. I said it in a simple jest that the congressman’s hair distracted me. Well, that was stupid, I apologize. It had no place in the conversation.

Now, it’s not necessary to poke fun at anyone who’s speaking from the heart in the public arena, in my opinion. But it is necessary to analyze what’s being said.

Then he immediately began impugning her character and patriotism.

O’REILLY: So, what exactly is Maxine Waters talking about when she says Mr. Trump is dangerous for America? I have no idea, and I don’t think Ms. Waters has any clue either. She’s just spouting the left-wing company line, and anyone who disagrees with her—well, she doesn’t brook disagreement. That’s not patriotism, madam, that’s demagoguery.

It would take a miracle but I really wish liberal advocates like Congresswoman Waters would stop the ideological nonsense and really focus on what America offers every responsible citizen.

So, O’Reilly is suggesting that the only cause for Waters’ criticisms of Donald Trump is because she is irresponsible. And we know what that means: it’s a kinder word for “shiftless.” Don’t believe me? Keep reading.

O’REILLY: In order to succeed in this country, you must be self-reliant, not dependent on the entitlement system that Maxine Waters loves so much. You must work hard. You must learn and develop a skill off the knowledge that you acquire in school. And you must be honest. That’s the message Congresswoman Waters and others should be spreading. Patriotism comes in many forms. Questioning the patriotism of others and bashing a new president isn’t patriotic, it’s useless.

Then he welcomed talk show host Jamila Bey who couldn’t seem to put forth a focused, cogent rebuttal.

@ David Lindsay LOL! Dear David: in case you don’t remember, the late great Ann Richards (former governor of TX) also said the following at the Democrat National Convention in Atlanta, GA in the summer of 1988 — she was naturally referring to George Bush Sr. (i.e. the Republican presidential nominee at the time) but I definitely believe this quip certainly applies to Bully O’Lielly as well:

“He was born with a silver foot in his mouth!”

:^)

10 minutes after Bill’s “apology” Maxine Waters responds in this two-minute clip on MSNBC…https://youtu.be/UQTXX0-KyMk

Richard, as the late great Ann Richards said, “He was born on third base and thinks he hit a triple!!”.

From O’Lielly’s retort:

“In order to succeed in this country, you must be self-reliant, not dependent on the entitlement system that Maxine Waters loves so much. You must work hard…….”

And you also need to have VERY WELL-OFF AND WELL-CONNECTED PARENTS to help you through life like Junior O’Lielly did, especially when it comes to getting into VERY ELITE (and naturally very pricey) private schools like Chaminade High School in Mineola, NY (i.e. Jr. O’Lielly’s alma mater). As a former Long Islander like Jr. O’Lielly (I grew up in Seaford, NY — O’Lielly grew up in the VERY TONY suburb of Westbury, NY — NOT middle-class Levittown as he always claims), I know this IRREFUTABLE FACT: ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY NO ONE gets into an elite and pricey private high school like Chaminade unless he meets AT LEAST TWO of the following requirements:

1. STRAIGHT A’s (or near straight A’s)
2. LOTS OF $$$$
3. THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS — according to Marvin Kitman’s book “The Man Who Would Not Shut Up” Junior O’Reilly was NOWHERE NEAR honor student status when he was a student at St. Brigid’s Elementary School (another pricey private school located on Long Island in Westbury, NY) in the early 1960s. Ergo, the late William O’Reilly Sr. (Jr.‘s dad) had to pull some strings with one of Chaminade’s guidance counselors in 1963 in order to get Jr’s acceptance ticket to Chaminade punched.

Maybe O’Rielly can show the handful of hair he got when he dragged his wife down the stairs in front of his daughter.

Look I do not wish harm on anyone but when this asshole just go always, no one care what he says!!!

That’s right JW. I’d forgotten. It was Eleanor Holmes Norton that has been left powerless but not rudderless. She very much has an opinion but there’s not much she can do votewise.

I’m going to change some of O’Reilly’s commentary and show just how easy it is to apply to O’Reilly himself:

“In order to succeed in this country, you must be self-reliant, not dependent on the right-wing news media entitlement system that Bill O’Reilly loves so much. You must work hard, unless you’re willing to spew right-wing propaganda that you know is utter tripe but helps pay the bills. You must learn and develop a skill off the knowledge that you acquire in school—that development being how to completely ignore the facts and a sense of journalistic integrity. And you must be completely dishonest. That’s the message Bill O’Reilly and others are spreading. Patriotism comes in many forms, but the only acceptable forms are those that our right-wing party bosses decide are acceptable. Questioning the patriotism of others and bashing a new president isn’t patriotic, it’s useless—unless, of course, you work for FoxNoise or any of the other imbecilic, moronic, party-over-country idiots who populate right-wing media.”

Granted—I had to make some major additions to fit O’Reilly but for all his talk about how “to succeed in this country,” that’s pretty much a case of the pot calling the kettle black (no pun intended). O’Reilly doesn’t have the balls (probably literally) to run for political office.

Um, David. Maxine Waters is the duly-elected representative for the 43rd district of CALIFORNIA. She’s been in office since 1977 (as a representative for several different districts over the years due to redistricting).

You’re confusing Waters with DC’s delegate, Eleanor Holmes Norton. (And, despite both women being African-American, I’m not going to jump to the conclusion that “all Black women look alike to you.” I’m sure you just had a momentary lapse.)

The masses should call all talk radio shows and ask the hosts why a man like Billy continues to be employed by the Foxies after incidences of sexual harassments.

Go after the Fox “News” suits by placing blame on them for not suspending this clown.

Use Judge Nap’s suspension and compare it to Billy’s. The topic of discussion should be double standards.

1. Why Judge Nap’s is punished for first time offense, but Billy has been accused of sexual harassment, but Fox “News” executives continue his employment.

Shame every Fox “News” suit executives.

Oh yeah!! The people who would deny the citizens of the Capitol of our country the right to vote are republicans. Bill O’Reillys best buddies.

As far as being shiftless, I’m afraid that is true. Rep. Maxine Waters is a representative of Washington D.C. in name only. The District of Columbia is not represented. The last President to do a damn thing for the citizens of Washington D.C. was LBJ.
