Bill O’Reilly has revealed that he had to console Donald Trump after he was booed by his own supporters for getting a vaccine booster shot. Trump told MAGA fans that he’d had his COVID-19 booster during Sunday’s final stop on the “History Tour” he co-headlined with the disgraced ex-Fox News star.
The revelation prompted a chorus of boos and jeers from anti-vaxxers in the crowd. In an interview with Dan Abrams on NewsNation, O’Reilly said Trump phoned him after the event and was apparently hurt by the reaction.
“I told him that today, he called me,” said O’Reilly. “I said ‘This is good for you, this is good that people see another side of you, not a political side, you told the truth, you believe in the vax, your administration did it, and you should take credit for it, because it did save, I don’t know, hundreds of thousands of lives.’” The ex-Fox News star later said Trump that will definitely run in 2024, telling Abrams: “I’m trying to tell President Trump, run on your record. He’s going to run again, all right.”

Alex Jones is right on this issue. I know that's hard to accept for some Freepers but it's the truth and we must acknowledge that.
The right to Choose is fundamental to MAGA.
If life shows us anything, it shows us there are many paths to walk in life.
Most of my decisions have been good ones but not all of them.
Why is he hanging around with that loser?
Just as bad as hanging around Flimsey Grahamnesty.
Trump’s background is business and negotiations. It is not science. Nobody is an expert on everything. He has to rely on other people.
Baloney.
I think Alex Jones is right on this also. Not a good move for Trump. We don’t want the mRNA poison. It’s a health choice.
As long as Trump is staunchly against mandates I don’t care if he takes it, thinks it’s a great vaccine or anything. He doesn’t have to live my life to have my support. He needs to be willing to allow me to live mine.
I have been done with Trump for a long time now - the vax is just one of many reasons. I sincerely hope more will wake up to his severe lack of judgement regarding the people he associates with. BOR is a good example.
What is this “Trump/O’Reilly” thing all about?
It seems like a huge step down for Trump- and increases O’Reilly’s standing considerably (for no reason)
Taking advice from Bill O’Reilly? Goodness me...
Troll much?
Alex Jones is beyond a hack....
Why ANYONE is giving that guy the time of day after Sandy Hook is beyond me.
I am no fan of O’Reilly, but Alex Jones is just flake town central.
I don’t care if someone has the vaccine or not, nor do I care if someone advocates to others they get it.... when you start trying to force it on folks, that’s when you lose any credibility.
Yes, there are a lot of lies being told about the vaccines on both sides... but Alex Jones as an advisor to anyone should send anyone running scared.
All I want is the right to choose.
Trump decided to take the vaxx, that’s 100% fine with me. He can also encourage others to take it, that is also fine by me.
Anyone criticizing Trump for taking it or telling other to take it, should FO.
Exactly.
I don’t care if Trump (or anyone else) has had the shots or the boosters.
Just don’t try to force it on others.
I’d rather Trump listened to him than a washed up Bill O’Reilly.
Alex’s instincts are more in line with his base whether you like it or not.
He does a daily radio show. He see’s it and lives it.
Bill O’Reilly is a failure as a radio host something which has always made him bitter.
It’s scary he is giving advice to Trump...

“...his severe lack of judgement regarding the people he associates with.”
Yes. His severe lack of judgement in that regard must have been his secret to accumulating billions is real estate.
Trump was forced to clear his appointees with Paul Ryan and McConnell and the Republican led Senate Judiciary committee — all good democrats.
Agree.
Exposure and $$$.
Are you seriously asking yourself how often you troll?
