Fox host Bill O’Reilly on Wednesday night called for the forcible arrest of Kaci Hickox, the Maine nurse who has made headlines fighting Ebola quarantines in her home state and New Jersey.

According to O’Reilly, Hickox is defying a state of Maine quarantine “because she can.”

“Ms. Hickox should be taken into custody,” he continued, “but she will not be, because the feds have no Ebola policy at all.”

The nurse, who recently returned from West Africa aiding victims of Ebola, has said she shows no symptoms of the virus and is “in perfectly good health.”

Earlier this month, Hickox was quarantined against her will in New Jersey and has said she will go to court if the state of Maine attempts to do the same.

    How quickly Bill-O blows off Maine’s rights to worship at the Federal altar like a Kenyan handmaiden…

  2. Right wing arrogance. If the tables were turned, they’d be yelling about the government taking away their rights, and Joni Ernst would be utilizing her beautiful little Smith & Wesson.

  3. WWHD?

    (What Would Himmler Do?)

  4. When republicans like Bill OReilly fear monger they expect you to act accordingly, or face imprisonment.
