Bill O’Reilly said the people who ended his career at Fox News are the same people seeking to undermine Donald Trump’s presidency.
O’Reilly on Wednesday posted a video on Twitter from his ongoing public speaking tour that shows him telling the audience he feels compelled to defend Trump from his critics because they are “the same people” who went after him at Fox.
“It is now almost impossible for me to analyze Donald Trump fairly because he is being treated so unfairly, you see?” he said. “And I know because the same people who came at me are behind what’s happening to him. The same people. So, I know that this is a fraud being perpetuated on you, the American voter, because they — the progressive, organized far left — didn’t or won’t accept the election. They won’t. They will not accept it.”

O’Reilly’s decades-long tenure at Fox ended in May after reports surfaced that he and the network had paid out around $13 million in settlements for sexual harassment claims.
O’Reilly has denied all of the accusations, made by several women, and said after he was fired that more information would come out in the future, a suggestion that he would be vindicated.
The White House is tied up in the federal probe over Russia’s interfering in the election, an investigation that is said to include whether Trump attempted to obstruct justice in firing former FBI Director James Comey.
