Ronald Reagans son defends OReilly, asks if men should sue for sexual arousal

[n2doc]

Michael Reagan, son of late President Ronald Reagan, defended disgraced Fox News host Bill O’Reilly, who was ousted this week after advertisers boycotted the show en masse amid a sexual harassment scandal.

The firestorm started after the New York Times revealed that O’Reilly and the network had shelled out $13 million in settlements to various women who had accused him of sexual harassment.

But in two tweets sent late Thursday evening, Michael Reagan first specifically referenced one of the allegations against O’Reilly — that he called a black woman “hot chocolate” and leered at her — and then suggested that women invite attention by how they dress.

2. So, Fox news should require women to wear burkas?

To avoid men's arousal?

3. Mickie Reagan is an idiot and does not understand that this is about power

O'Reilly and Ailes used their power to force women to give in. Men would have a hard time suing unless the situations were reversed

4. Conservatives through history...

The Reagan era - "Tear down this wall"
The Bush era - "I'm gonna get you Saddam"
The Trump era - "So... what are you wearing?"

6. Jesus these people are idiots

You can be aroused by someone and still avoid sexually harassing or assaulting her. It's simple self control and most humans with a functional cranium learn to practice it.
