Trump to O'Reilly: I Should Forgive Fox—But an Eye for an Eye
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 01/27/2016 6:07:15 PM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Despite his ongoing feud with Fox News, Donald Trump honored a previous promise and appeared on The Factor tonight.

Bill O'Reilly tried a variety of tactics to convince Trump to participate in Fox's GOP debate tomorrow night. Nothing was working, so O'Reilly played his trump card, citing Christianity: "the tenet of forgiveness . . . don't you think that's the right thing to do?" Shot back Trump: "it probably is. But it's called an eye for an eye I guess also."

Trump debates Christianity with O’Reilly: I’ll see your forgiveness and raise you an eye for an eye.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Forgive and forget Donald. Please reconsider your decision to not walk into our carefully laid ambush.

I bet O’Reilly was going to get a finder’s fee on the increased ad revenue if he could talk Trump back to the debate.

Trump is too ignorant to know that “an eye for an eye” was part of the old testament law. Jesus instructed us instead to love our enemies and to forgive.

O’Reilly made that point back at Trump: “If you’re the Christian, the eye for the eye rule goes out. Here’s what it is: turning the other cheek.”

Trump did well. O’Reilly brought up Putin, etc. and Trump basically said that he is skipping the debate as a form of retaliation

The other candidates will look weak attending the Fox circus.

I have often said that we may not know what Trump’s favorite scripture is, but we know it’s definitely NOT turn the other cheek.

Here’s what it is: turning the other cheek.”

Even then you don’t stick your head in the guillotine just because they said pretty-please.

The debate has been laid out as an all out ambush including a muzzie hactivist. No way should any of the candidates show up.

Watching cable news tonight....media up in arms how a candidate could skip a debate! Why, it’s depriving the voters of information!

Now, the “Debates” are the most important things on earth!

If these debates are “so important”, how come so little criticism of so few Democrat debates???

If Trump could forgive and forget, he wouldn’t be on his third marriage.

Trump is a old testament kind of guy. He wants an eye for an eye and sacrifice your first born. Part of his “deal” for America.
