O’Reilly Lectures Trump For Missing Fox Debate: ‘I Was Right’ (VIDEO)

O'Reilly Trump missing debate

Bill O’Reilly tried to goad Donald Trump into saying he’d made a mistake by missing last week’s Fox News debate during Friday’s episode of “The O’Reilly Factor,” asking the GOP candidate “You wanna confirm tonight that I was right?”

Trump refused, saying he didn’t know if his absence had an “impact” on his standing in the Iowa caucus, where he came in second. He stood by his decision to hold a fundraiser for U.S. veterans instead.

O’Reilly burst out laughing, arguing that Trump “could have done that any other day.”

When the GOP candidate’s last visited the “O’Reilly Factor” set, the night before the debate, the Fox host pleaded with him to participate. Trump held firm, despite O’Reilly’s entreaties to his “Christian faith” and his reminder that he had bought the GOP candidate “so many vanilla milkshakes.”

Trump was miffed at the network for issuing a statement implying that he was worried about facing moderator Megyn Kelly’s tough questions.

  1. Look, if I wanted to watch two crabby old caucasoids fellate each other, I’d…actually, I guess I’d watch Fox.

  2. Just throw those two in a steel cage, let them go at it, and whoever stumbles out alive can be crowned the biggest damn bullshitter on the planet. In the meantime, it’s poetic justice, Trump getting lectured by a guy who’s his mirror image in not having a particle of proof for the sludge he’s blathering.

  3. Pirandello spins in his grave

  4. Loser Leaves Town match?
    Haircut match ?
