Bill O’Reilly during Friday night’s “The O’Reilly Factor” denounced “the big lie” of “white privilege” and ranted that he wasn’t complicit in “white suppression.”

O’Reilly set up his show by mentioning comments he’d made on Monday’s show in which he claimed that “our traditional American values are under siege nearly everywhere.” He added that it was “open season” on Christians and white men in America.

O’Reilly devoted Friday’s show to attacking the “lie” that “white privilege” and “white suppression” are real issues in American society.

O’Reilly also said he wasn’t complicit because he was “a big fan” of abolitionist John Quincy Adams and donated “big money to help suffering minorities in this country and all over the world.”

“No society is perfect,” O’Reilly said. “Police agencies, local political situations, corporations can all be corrupted. But there is no organized white suppression, and our system gives all men and women the chance to succeed in life if they do what is necessary to compete.”
