-snip-
OReilly went on to praise President Barack Obama for accomplishing so much in his life despite overwhelming odds, but he attributed it not to Obamas intelligence, hard work or support from a loving family, instead he attributed it to America.
When it comes to the profound contempt that Fox News viewers have for Obama, OReilly explained that theyre not exactly forming their opinions with their brains. Its all about emotion, you know, I dont think its about rational thought. I think the people who like President Obama love him no matter what he does and they dont like him, he could walk across Lake Huron and they wouldnt like him. So, I dont like that emotional evaluation of people. I know Barack Obama, Ive interviewed him three times. I think hes a patriot, Ive said that. OReilly qualified that he disagrees on policy, not on the person and that people shouldnt be hateful.
When it comes to Black Lives Matter, OReilly was less respectful, calling it a destructive movement and he doesnt believe that the intended message conveying systemic racism is one that is being conveyed.
If you look at the Black Lives Matter leadership, its a movement based upon that America is inherently an evil country based on white superiority, alright, thats what they believe. They dont want to solve the problem, they want to break the system down, OReilly said, oddly echoing the words of GOP nominee Donald Trump that the system is rigged.
