Bill O’Reilly is pretty concerned that American voters aren’t smart enough to understand Republican ideas.

Though the GOP looks poised to win the Senate, the party may fall short on election day, the Fox News host warned.

O’Reilly first warned that people are apathetic and don’t care about the “collective good.” But he said the other issue is “poor education.”

“Many American citizens are simply dumb,” he said. “They don’t know anything. And when you don’t know anything, you’ll buy anything and propaganda rules.”
