Bill O’Reilly apologized on Tuesday after he sparked backlash for calling Maxine Waters’ hair a “James Brown wig.”

“As I have said many times, I respect Congresswoman Maxine Waters for being sincere in her beliefs,” O’Reilly said. “I said that again today on Fox & Friends calling her ‘old school.’ Unfortunately, I also made a jest about her hair which was dumb. I apologize.”

see, it is okay for Patrick Stewart to dress up and make fun of Kellyanne Conway.

it is COOL for the heavyset actress (can't remember her name) to dress up and make fun of Sean Spicer.

but for Bill O'Reilly to ACCURATELY OBSERVE that Maxine Waters has the hair of a dead musician? unthinkable.

Maxine Waters wears a bad wig. Had BO said that, he’d be in real trouble.

Actually, I think her hair resembles a brain-sucking alien that has died of starvation.

The wealth of foolishness, conspiracy theories and general crackpot ramblings that come out of Maxine Waters’ mouth already make her a rich target for ridicule. There’s no reason to go after a woman’s appearance.

While funny and spot on, it is an infraction of the woman’s black privlege to be dress like a clown. O’Reilly should have concentrated on the more serious cultural appropriation of the hair style.

She looks bizarre and what she says is bizarre. Yet in the politically correct culture that now exists , it is considered racism to criticize or mock any black in any way. Ironically this public behavior results in blacks being kept isolated and subservient.

Saw it last night.

Bill had a sly little smile when he made the apology.

Then he proceeded to point out what an utter nut csse she is.

Is she the bitch that got her panties in a bunch because a Military man referred to her as ma’am instead of senator?

I was so hoping he’d say “go #### yourself, you ####”

But that would have been it for his career.

I’ve heard the reply “sir’ to senators a million times with no issue.

Back to raising kids and acting like ladies would be nice.

An insult to James Brown. O’Reilly was correct to apologize, as it’s not appropriate to insult the dead.
