Bill O’Reilly did not apologize for calling Putin a killer
Earlier today, we reported that Russia had issued a statement demanding that Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly apologize for calling Vladimir Putin “a killer” during his pre-Super Bowl interview with Donald Trump. At that point, it was impossible to predict whether or not O’Reilly would cave to Trump’s best friend and issue an apology for his remark or if he’d stick to his (metaphorical) pro-America guns and refuse to back down. Really, though, there’s only one way this could’ve played out: with O’Reilly leaning on his “I’m the smartest guy in the room” attitude and standing by his assertion that Putin is, in fact, a killer. After all, O’Reilly didn’t get where he is today by apologizing, he did it by screaming “fuck it” and doing it live (so to speak).
