Bill OReilly tonight went through a few Charleston responses he found to be dubious at best and outrageous at worst. He scolded people trying to exploit the situation to push their own views on race and guns.
He scolded Hillary Clinton for taking a swipe at Donald Trump in talking about Charleston, and then squared solely on race hustlers.
One of those was Marc Lamont Hill, who used to go toe-to-toe with OReilly, who said white supremacy is a serious issue that needs to be addressed. OReilly mocked the idea and said that kind of lunacy makes a mockery out of serious people trying to bridge the gap of understanding between races.
As for the suggestion that conservative rhetoric may have been an influence on the gunman, mentioned by WaPos Eugene Robinson, OReilly said its ridiculous and added, Never mind that far-left rhetoric [is] far more hateful these days than what the hard right puts out.
