Fox News host Bill O’Reilly was taken aback by the Obama administration’s decision to light the White House in rainbow colors after the Supreme Court ruled that same-sex couples have the right to marry.
“I was a bit surprised to see the White House doing a victory lap using actual White House property on Friday,” O’Reilly said on Monday night. “The people’s house was illuminated in rainbow colors to celebrate the gay marriage decision. What about all the Americans who believe that a redefinition of marriage is not the job of the Supreme Court?”
O’Reilly said President Obama “did an ‘in your face’ to traditional Americans” with the White House display.
The Fox host also blasted comedian Stephen Colbert for mocking Justice Antonin Scalia’s dissent in the gay marriage ruling. O’Reilly said Colbert “might want to think about alienating traditional Americans to the extent he has — it could be very bad for business.”
