Sexual harasser defends serial Sexual harasser.

Fox News anchor Bill O’Reilly called Roger Ailes the “best boss I’ve ever had” on NBC’s “Late Night with Seth Meyers” Wednesday, defending the Fox News CEO against numerous claims of sexual harassment.

Fox News host Gretchen Carlson filed a lawsuit against Ailes earlier this month, alleging he sexually harassed her. Since then, more than a dozen women have shared similar stories of harassment by Ailes.

“I stand behind Roger 100 percent,” O’Reilly told Meyers on the show, adding that “in this country, every famous, powerful or wealthy person is a target. You’re a target, I’m a target. Anytime, somebody could come out and sue us, attack us, go to the press or anything like that.”

They're victims of rigged systems, targeted just because they're wealthy white men.
