If you’re looking for a clear sign of weakness in a person, you will find it if when faced with truth they can’t deal with, the individual decides the best response is to hurl an insult. I talked about this last year when I spoke on the number of people, including politicians, who resorted to comparing Barack and Michelle Obama to monkeys. And just as those individuals felt the need to stoop so low because they were threatened, so has their favorite Fox Noise News ringleader, Bill O’Reilly.
While appearing on Fox & Friends this morning, O’Reilly responded to comments made by Rep. Maxine Waters of California when she was speaking on the House floor on Monday. In front of her constituents, Waters spoke about Trump’s supporters, who she said display anything but patriotism in the way they treat, and allow the president to treat fellow Americans.
“We have suffered discrimination,” she said. “We have suffered isolation and undermining. But we stand up for America, oftentimes when others who think they are more patriotic, who say they are more patriotic, do not. When we fight against this president and we point out how dangerous he is for this society and for this country, we are fighting for the democracy. We are fighting for America. We’re saying to those who say they’re patriotic but they’ve turned a blind eye to the destruction that he’s about to cause this country, ‘You’re not nearly as patriotic as we are.'”
Where is the lie?
There wasn’t one, and that’s probably why instead of coming up with an intelligent refutation, all O’Reilly could do was try to make a joke of Waters, specifically her hair.
“I didn’t hear a word she said, I was looking at the James Brown hair.”

In response to this clear diversion tactic, the Fox & Friends hosts, aside from Ainsley Earhardt, laughed. Earnhardt tried to faux defend Waters, saying she thinks the 78-year-old is attractive — how did they get there from an impassioned speech on the House floor? Anyway, O’Reilly agreed, but said, “It’s the same hair.”
There were no real rebuttals to her commentary, with the O’Reilly Factor host saying that she’s “a sincere individual. Whatever she says she believes.” But that, along with an invitation to appear on his show, was about it.
When they can’t deny you, they deflect. Never forget.
