‘When Loons Strike’: O’Reilly Responds to #BlackLivesMatter Co-Founder

#BlackLivesMatter co-founder Patrisse Cullors said on HuffPost Live yesterday that Bill O’Reilly “fuel[s] anti-black racism” and that “it’s pundits like him that allow for folks like Dylann Roof to have more ammunition.”

Cullors was responding to O’Reilly’s coverage of the movement, and O’Reilly responded tonight at the end of his show, starting out by saying “when loons strike.”

He played a clip of her, sighed, and said, “I get well-paid for having to deal with that kind of insanity, but you should not deal with it.”

He gave his viewers a tip to just ignore “irrational” people whose minds will never change.
