O'Reilly to Dems: Embracing #BlackLivesMatter is Like Embracing Neo-Nazis

Last night Bill O’Reilly addressed the Democrats’ embrace of the Black Lives Matter movement and compared it to embracing neo-Nazis, reports Mediaite..

After his initial commentary in which he painted the movement as radicals calling for the death of cops, O'Reilly sparred with BLM representative Keith Boykin, who challenged that characterization but could not name anyone in the organization who denounced the cop-killing chants of protesters. As the back-and-forth escalated, O’Reilly cut Boykin's mic and said, “Your time is done.”

O’Reilly then asked his other guest, Democratic party rep David Goodfriend, “Would you be comfortable with the Republican party bringing in the Stormfront, the Nazi people, and saying we’d like our candidates to talk to you guys?… They’re an extreme group, the Nazi party. #BlackLivesMatter is also an extreme group.”

Goodfriend argued that the movement has very real concerns and that O’Reilly was exaggerating.

When O'Reilly turned Boykin's mic back on, however, he shot back that “The #BlackLivesMatter movement is not the Nazi party. It’s an offensive suggestion to make that comparison, Bill. I’m outraged that you would say that.”
