‘You Would Vote for a Murderer?!’ Chris Cuomo Confronts Bill O’Reilly for Saying He’d Support Putin Over Ossoff

Chris Cuomo called out Bill O’Reilly for saying he’d vote for Russian dictator Vladimir Putin before casting a ballot for Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA).

O’Reilly made the remark in response to Ossoff’s now viral comment during a Sunday campaign rally invoking close presidential aide Natalie Harp.

MAGA critics have erupted since the Georgia Democrat claimed President Donald Trump would rather “travel with Natalie” than doing his job.

“You said you’d rather vote for Putin,” Cuomo told O’Reilly as the two discussed the Iran war.

“You’d vote for Vladimir Putin, who is a murderer,” Cuomo pointed out. “You’d vote for a murderer over a U.S. Senator.”

“Well, when you frame it that way I might stay home,” O’Reilly replied.

“Probably a good call, Bill,” Cuomo quipped.

O’Reilly then went on to say he knew Harp, and that “there’s no one who works harder for this country.”

“The idea that you or a Scott Jennings have your panties in a bunch over what Ossoff said about a woman connected to the president when this man does nothing but denigrate women for sport on a regular basis,” Cuomo said.

“Oh here we go,” said O’Reilly, who noted he’s “criticized Trump many times.”

“It matters,” Cuomo said, later adding, “It’s a little rich, Bill.”

O’Reilly had slammed Ossoff’s remark on Tuesday’s episode of No Spin News as a “gutter snipe statement.”

“You don’t get lower than that. This is the lowest you go. This woman is working for her country, whether you like the Trump administration or not. She has no history of doing anything untoward — none,” O’Reilly said.

He then went further.

“This Ossoff, I would not vote for — I’d vote for Putin over Ossoff,” O’Reilly declared. “That’s how bad this guy Ossoff is. Believe me, if I were President Trump, I’d be combing everything that Ossoff’s ever done — ever done — for doing this.”
