Bill O’Reilly says Trump defended Nazis because he doesn’t understand them
We can all come up with various reasons for why Donald Trump had such a hard time condemning the violent actions of the neo-Nazis and white supremacists at the Charlottesville rally—including “he sympathizes with the Nazis” and “he’s a big fucking dummy”—but disgraced cable news host Bill O’Reilly has formulated a slightly different theory. In a guest post on The Hill, O’Reilly suggests that we shouldn’t blame Donald Trump for being so stupid, we should blame the public school system instead. Citing zero evidence and ignoring the likelihood that Donald Trump has never set foot in a public school, O’Reilly claims that World War II and the Nazis are “barely mentioned” in “many American public schools,” adding that Adolf Hitler is a “distant monster” to these poorly run schools instead of being “as vivid as today’s sunrise.”
