O’Reilly Returns from Vacation to Rail Against Ferguson News Coverage

Bill O’Reilly returned from vacation early to deliver one of his most livid commentaries ever.

At the top of his “talking points memo” segment, O’Reilly slammed Rev. Al Sharpton for what he said was Sharpton’s “garbage” rallies in Ferguson, MO., where the MSNBC host said he “had enough” of white cops shooting black men.

“Al Sharpton has the nerve to insult the American police community,” O’Reilly said, “men and women risking their lives to protect us. This charlatan has the gall to do that and NBC News is paying him. My god, why is that acceptable?”

O’Reilly also lashed out at MSNBC’s Michelle Bernard who had recently charged the U.S. with waging a “war on black boys.”

“I guess this is lynch-mob justice,” O’Reilly said.

Ferguson has been in a state of unrest since a white police officer, Darren Wilson, shot and killed Michael Brown, an 18-year-old who was unarmed.

O’Reilly had previously called into Fox News shows twice while on vacation to discuss Ferguson and other current events.
