Bill O'Reilly says he's "mad at God" over sexual misconduct allegations

Bill O'Reilly has repeatedly blamed reports of sexual misconduct on a politically motivated media. On Monday, he admitted that he also blames a higher power.

"You know, am I mad at God? Yeah, I'm mad at him," O'Reilly said on the latest episode of his web series, "No Spin News." "I wish I had more protection. I wish this stuff didn't happen. I can't explain it to you. Yeah, I'm mad at him."

He then said that he derives perspective from the tribulations of others, including Kate Steinle, a woman who was allegedly shot by an undocumented immigrant who has been the subject of numerous O'Reilly commentaries.

O'Reilly's response to allegations of sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior has been consistent. He's emphatically denied the claims, insisting that his wealth and fame make him a target for such accusations. And he's denounced the press that has reported on the allegations -- and the ensuing settlements -- as corrupt and desperate to take him down.

Imagine how many life sentences he'd be serving as a POC.
Instead he's a free fucking millionaire hawking a book.
Cry me a river.

* Hell, I don't know who said this, and I'm too damn lazy to look it up. But since the OP has to do with a republican bullshit "alternative facts" bully wanker, I figured it didn't make a damn bit of difference which Wise Guy of Yore got the fake credit.
