Major Nikon

(36,925 posts)
43. I've seen a lot of presidential interviews. I've never seen anyone show such disrespect.

...and not even to Presidents like Nixon and Shrub who clearly deserved disrespect.

O'Reilly repeatedly interrupted the President and accused him of lying with zero evidence. The man is a festering asshole who doesn't deserve to be in the same room with the President.
