‘Unbelievable!’: O’Reilly Lashes Out At MSNBC Host Over 9/11 Comments Seen in Blaze Story

Billy OReilly Slams Melissa Harris Perrys 9/11 Comments

This week, The Blaze broke the story on MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry’s abhorrent remarks over 9/11 and the War On Terror.  The media has now began paying attention to Mrs. Perry and some of her vitriolic language. Last night her comments received fresh exposure as Fox Host Bill O’Rielly took notice on Wednesday, calling them “unbelievable.”  O’Reilly  played the clip of Perry saying:

“Americans in part identify who we are, and who deserves what, through our notions of whiteness and of the racial enemies that are the non-whites.  And in this moment, the new racial enemy became not so much Reagan‘s ’welfare queen,’ who was imaginary, but instead this imagined other that is somehow Muslim, or Arab, or Sikh, or something else. We became willing to stomach a kind of horrific racial violence in the name of national security.  It is something that we have been willing to stomach as a people over and over again in our history.”

O’Reilly was notably disturbed by the clip, asking:  “So we in the United States are racists because we defended ourselves against radical Islam after 9/11?”

His guest, former Clinton staple Lanny Davis, also had harsh criticism of the comments: “I strongly disagree with what she did.  She actually did racial stereotyping herself.”
