Former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly confused Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) with CBS News correspondent Mo Rocca on Wednesday during a rant against Khanna’s legislation to try and force the release of documents related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
“For four years, Merrick Garland had these files or whatever they are. Maybe they’re not files, maybe they’re just loose-leaf sheets of paper. I don’t know what they are!” ranted O’Reilly during an appearance on NewsNation’s Cuomo. “He had them for four years. Our pal Mo Rocca, who I like, California congressman, Democrat, said not one word. Four years! Yet now he’s introducing a bill to force President Trump to release everything. No redactions, no nothing, which is insane.”
Host Chris Cuomo corrected, “Ro Khanna. Mo Rocca is the media critic. Ro Khanna is the member of Congress.”
“Did I say Rocca?” O’Reilly asked. “Okay, Ro Khanna. You know, these Italians, it just gets me. But anyway, you know what I’m saying.”
Cuomo laughed before shouting, “Ro Khanna! I wish he was Italian, he would raise our IQ level four points!”
“Well, he wishes he were Italian,” continued O’Reilly. “So, immediately it’s politicized and it’s foolishness because Congress can’t force President Trump to release
He concluded, “That’s the essence of the story. He knows that the opposition is using this, a bunch of phonies because they didn’t care about it for four years, to try to hurt him, and then his own people, his loyal people, are helping! Helping the people that wanna hurt him!”
