O'Reilly: I want to 'slap' Rep. Clyburn

Bill O’Reilly flashed anger at Rep. Jim Clyburn for focusing on gun control over terrorism in the wake of the Orlando massacre, saying on Thursday that he wanted to “slap” the South Carolina Democrat for his comments.

Speaking on “Fox & Friends,” O’Reilly got heated when discussing terrorism and the background of American-born shooter Omar Mateen, who killed 49 people at an LGBT nightclub before being killed in a shootout with police.

“It just angers me. There’s two separate issues: There’s the terrorism, and there’s the gun control. But what was it, Congressman Clyburn, is that his name?” O’Reilly said.

Then O’Reilly launched into an impression of Clyburn’s voice and speech patterns: “It’s not about terrorism; it’s about gun control,” referring to comments Clyburn made on MSNBC on Tuesday, a day after he followed a moment of silence for the Orlando victims by asking House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) when gun-control legislation would be considered.

“You know, and I just want to slap him,” O'Reilly said, adding, “with all due respect.”

Someone needs to tug O'Reilly's slip and tell him men "punch" men. A punk slaps a woman. Get your macho straight.

4. The next mass shooting Billo should be sent to the site to clean up the bodies.

Barring that he should be forced to go to the hospital view the victims then face family and friends in the Hospital waiting room. After that Billo should be allowed to slap whomever he desires as long as they get the opportunity to slap back.
