O’Reilly to Trump: Is There a ‘Danger’ That You’re Contributing to Muslim ‘Demonization’?

Bill O’Reilly spoke with Donald Trump tonight about Orlando, terrorisms, and radical Islam, and at one point he challenged him on the heat of his rhetoric.

He asked, “Do you see that you could be contributing to a demonization of all Muslims in general? Is that possible?”

Trump insisted it’s “just the opposite” and pointed to the “many Muslim friends” he has––he pointed out twice that “many of them” are successful––who supposedly agree with him about his rhetoric on Muslims and his call for a Muslim ban.

“They’re not all terrorists,” he said, “but it doesn’t take many, Bill.”

O’Reilly also asked Trump if he thinks American Muslims “fear” him. Trump said, “I hope not.”
