An attempt by former Fox News personality Bill O'Reilly to blame the current Jeffrey Epstein chaos on ex-President Joe Biden was shot down on-air earlier in the week in humiliating fashion and the entire panel on MSNBC "Morning Joe" were incredulous at how bad it all played out.

During an appearance on NewsNation with host Leland Vittert –– also a former Fox host –– O'Reilly asserted that the accused pedophile was convicted by "Merrick Garland’s Justice Department,” and they botched the case and now Donald Trump is paying the price.

That led Vittert to throw up his hands and protest, "Hold on! Bill! Hold on! You said Epstein was convicted during the Biden administration. Epstein committed suicide during the Trump administration."

“Yeah, so?” a blank-faced O’Reilly replied.

“How do you convict a guy who’s dead?” Vittert asked which led a confused O'Reilly to state, "He was convicted, I believe, under Merrick Garland’s Justice Department. Am I wrong on that? "

After sharing the clip, MSNBC cut back to the co-hosts where Mika Brzezinski could be seen rolling her eyes and Jonathan Lemire was visibly laughing.

Finger to his lips, Joe Scarborough offered, "Wow. A lot of that going around, a lot of that going around. So I wonder, I'm just wondering, Willie [Geist], what would people say if Joe Biden had gotten something that terribly wrong?"

"You know, because we heard from Donald Trump yesterday that it was all the Democrats; it's the Democrats, the Democrat conspiracy theory, the Democrats this, the Democrats that forgetting that his own administration was the one that actually prosecuted Epstein and Epstein died while he was in custody while Donald Trump was still president," he added.

After Scarborough admitted, "It's a very sad thing to watch," Geist explained, "I think when you've gotten away for a decade now of telling your political movement fables and being cheered for it and supported and having those repeated, you just assume that the next fable you tell will land the same way."

"But in this case, Donald Trump's supporters are so invested in this. Jeffrey Epstein story and have been for so long," he added.

"The Daily Show" host and comedian Jon Stewart was under fire Tuesday night for having former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly on the popular show to talk about political fanaticism and extreme rhetoric.

Earlier in the show, Stewart shredded Republicans for calling for "unity" and "healing" despite doing the opposite in the wake of the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump that left one person slain. He then hosted O'Reilly for a 12-minute discussion on the state of politics that led to the shooting, and to discuss his new book “Confronting the Presidents.”

O'Reilly made the case that today, "hatred is rewarded." ...

Fox News host Bill O'Reilly expressed skepticism on Wednesday over the idea of white privilege, saying his upbringing and his inability to tan disqualified him from having it.

Bill O'Reilly is aggrieved. (What's new?) He's aggrieved that other people---people who are not older white men---are aggrieved.  Older white men are the only one allowed grievances, because the only grievance really allowed is to be aggrieved that younger, more female, and more racially diverse people do not accept your natural authority as an older white man. No, I am not exaggerating his point of view.

President Barack Obama and Fox News host Bill O'Reilly grew testy with one another in a 10-minute live interview aired Sunday ahead of the Super Bowl.

Holy crap, this might be a whole new level of the right wing just giving into their anger and panic over the fact that Americans were willing to elect a black Democrat as President twice in a row. Bill O'Reilly brought this religious crank, Robert Jeffress, on the basically argue that Obama is the opening act for the Anti-Christ. I mean, he clearly wants you to believe that Obama is basically the Anti-Christ, but he knows that argument sounds crazy. So he, uh, tries to dial it down by saying, no, he's just the warm-up act. Of course, that still means he believes that the Anti-Christ is coming and that Obama works directly for Satan, but in nutty Christian talk, saying Obama is merely a horseman of the apocalypse instead of the big boss is taken for moderation.
