Bill O’Reilly Defends Larry Wilmore Using N-Word: ‘It Wasn’t Like a Rapper’

Bill O’Reilly tonight defended Larry Wilmore from politically correct liberals outraged by his WHCD speech ending with the phrase “my n*gga” being addressed to President Obama.

Charles Krauthammer told O’Reilly he wasn’t offended, but he understands that a lot of African-Americans might have been.

O’Reilly said, “I wasn’t offended because I felt that Wilmore did it in an affectionate way.”

“It wasn’t like a rapper,” he continued, “who’s using it in a way that’s denigrating, it was more of, um, you know, ‘I’m proud of you.'”

So just take in this moment when Larry Wilmore is being criticized by Al Sharpton and defended by Bill O’Reilly.
