O’Reilly on Trump’s ‘Rigged’ Talk: ‘Undermining Our Electoral System Is Not a Patriotic Thing’

Bill O’Reilly opened his show tonight by analyzing the merits of Donald Trump‘s declarations that everything is rigged. Some of it, O’Reilly felt, is somewhat warranted, but not where the vote count is concerned.

He said very clearly that “it is virtually impossible for the actual vote tally to be rigged,” though he did say there is a legitimate study on issues with voter registration.

Where O’Reilly did agree with Trump on rigged system is where the media and the DOJ are concerned.

He said it’s clear Republicans face “rigged” media coverage all the time, and argued that there is a lot of evidence that the DOJ––if not rigged––has been “compromised” in protecting Hillary Clinton from prosecution.

But despite those points in Trump’s favor, O’Reilly still concluded, “Undermining our electoral system is not a patriotic thing.”
