Bill O'Reilly Is Getting Dragged on Twitter for a Questionable Offer He Made to Sarah Sanders

Disgraced Fox News host Bill O'Reilly reportedly offered to stand next to White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders as a means of backup when dealing with "out of line" reporters.


According to The Hollywood Reporter, O'Reilly made his offer at a party for new German Ambassador Richard Grinnell on Sunday. He also remarked that President Donald Trump, whom he has known for decades, is "just flamboyant enough to maybe be OK with it."

I said, 'Ms. Sanders with all due respect, if you ever need me to stand next to you in those press briefings, I will volunteer to do that. And, if somebody gets out of line, I will tell them exactly what I think of their behavior.'
She's representing her country in very difficult circumstances, extremely difficult, and she's a patriot — you know, she's taken enormous amount of abuse, enormous.


Then on Monday, O'Reilly tweeted in praise of Sanders.

Had the chance to speak with @PressSec over the weekend. Very smart woman. Told her that the press is not treating her well but the folks know she's a patriot. Also said she has the toughest job in the country right now. I'll tell you about it on https://BOR.com tonight.

Sanders' relationship with the press has strained in recent weeks, particularly because of the president's changing story about his involvement with adult film star Stormy Daniels and the subsequent hush money she was paid.

At last month's White House Correspondent's Association Dinner, comedian Michelle Wolf blasted Sanders' pattern of obscuring the truth and playing loose with the facts.

Every time Sarah steps up to the podium, I get excited. I'm not really sure what we're going to get, you know? A press briefing, a bunch of lies or divided into softball teams.
I actually really like Sarah. I think she's very resourceful. But she burns facts and then she uses that ash to create a perfect smokey eye. Like maybe she's born with it, maybe it's lies.

O'Reilly promptly got dragged on Twitter from people wondering how his presence would help Sanders' credibility.

Vance Tried To Make A Joke About Seeing 'Les Misérables' At The Kennedy Center—And It's Peak Cringe

Vice President JD Vance had people groaning after he made a bad joke about the production of Les Misérables he and his wife, Second Lady Usha Vance, attended at the Kennedy Center with President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.

The musical, set in 19th century France, tells the story of Jean Valjean, an ex-convict who is released from prison for stealing a loaf of bread. The story touches on timeless themes such as justice and mercy—and also happens to be about people resisting an authoritarian takeover, which many find ironic given the Trump administration's response to protests in Los Angeles.
