Obama Lampoons O'Reilly, Needles His 'Reporting From The War Zone'

President Obama was the latest to weigh in on the scandal surrounding host Bill O'Reilly on Saturday, cracking a joke at the Fox host's expense.

At the Gridiron Club and Foundation's annual dinner, Obama joked that House Republicans may be plotting a coup.

"Or as Bill O'Reilly calls it, 'reporting from the war zone,'" the President said, according to the Associated Press.

In recent months reporters have hounded the Fox host over his past reporting and statements.
