Twitter Explodes as Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly Openly Advocates for White Nationalism
‘The Left Wants Power Taken Away From the White Establishment’ O’Reilly Complains
Bill O’Reilly’s vile racist beliefs are finally catching up with him. In a “Talking Points Memo” segment on his Fox News show Tuesday night, the 67-year old conservative commentator and author openly advocated for white nationalism, and Twitter is exploding.
“The left wants power taken away from the white establishment,” O’Reilly said, acknowledging that “the white establishment” exists.Â
“The left sees white privilege in America as an oppressive force that must be done away with,” O’Reilly also said, as if that were wrong, as if white privilege should be maintained.

Twitter is weighing in against the Fox News host.
Keith Olbermann, whose former MSNBC show ran in the same time slot as O’Reilly’s noted this is not a change:

Every day, Trump or not, America looks less and less like Bill O’Reilly. And he knows that and it terrifies him. GOOD.

O’Reilly arguing to keep Electoral College because the Republican powerbase comes from white men in low population areas.

I like that Bill O’Reilly trends because he slipped and gave his actual opinion.

Regarding Bill O’Reilly’s explicit white nationalism, please note the broader context: it’s expressly white-male nationalism. pic.twitter.com/4qQarevGuJ
