Fox News host Bill O’Reilly said Thursday night that he thinks Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) is afraid to come on his program because of the tough questions he’d face.
O’Reilly made the speculation on his show “The O’Reilly Factor” a day after Paul appeared on rival network MSNBC. The host told his guest and Fox contributor Bernard Goldberg that he thought the appearance was odd because MSNBC is “obviously a network that doesn’t have any use for him.”
Goldberg attempted to provide what he called “educated speculation” about the motivations behind Paul’s appearance. But O’Reilly wasn’t convinced and even gave his own justification for the senator’s actions.
“It doesn’t make any sense to me,” O’Reilly said. “I think he doesn’t want to answer the foreign policy question.”
O’Reilly did however admit he might be wrong and offered an on-air invitation to Paul.
“The chair is waiting for him.”
I love the way that O’Reilly presumes that the only reason Bill doesn’t get what he wants (a guest, recognition, whatever) is because people are “afraid” of him. Narcissistic old-man complex. He’d be pitiful if he weren’t such an asshole.
What does he need to come on Billo’s show for? He’s already got the votes of the living viewers.
Ah yes, the most profound question of our time [at least since yesterday]: Which cable news shows will Rand Paul NOT agree to appear on? I am hyperventilating with the anxiety of anticipation. In fact, I may give way to syncope any momen … thud!
He says that about everyone who doesn’t want to go on his show. Maybe some people don’t want to go on his show because some people don’t think he is a person worth talking to. It’s just the same BS from BO.
Maybe Rand saw this picture of Billo? Scarey stuff.
