Bill O’Reilly sparks Twitter outrage over 'white privilege' comments

By Chris Sommerfeldt

Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly infuriated thousands of Americans when he went on national television Tuesday night and said that liberals want to abolish the Electoral College because they want “power taken away from the white establishment.”

The conservative “O’Reilly Factor” host claimed that mounting pressure to do away with the antiquated voting system is “all about race,” and only intends to favor diverse urban areas over primarily white rural ones.

“The left sees white privilege in America as an oppressive force that must be done away with,” O’Reilly said during his namesake primetime show, just one day after the Electoral College officially elected Donald Trump as the next President. “Therefore, white working class voters must be marginalized and what better way to do that than center the voting power in the cities.”

O’Reilly went on to claim that Hillary Clinton’s massive popular vote win is but a reminder of the College’s necessity.
