Bill O’Reilly, the embattled Fox News host, received a powerful show of support on Wednesday from a longtime friend, interview subject, ideological sympathizer and fellow scandal-survivor: the president of the United States.

Speaking in the Oval Office, Donald J. Trump praised Mr. O’Reilly as “a good person” and declared, “I don’t think Bill did anything wrong,” days after The New York Times reported that five women had received settlements after making harassment claims against him.

News of the payouts, totaling about $13 million, generated a storm of criticism toward Fox News, which recently renewed Mr. O’Reilly’s contract, and prompted more than two dozen advertisers to withdraw their support of Mr. O’Reilly’s prime time show, the highest-rated program in cable news.

Few have spoken out publicly in support of the Fox star. The president had no qualms.

1. Dumps opinion isn't worth shit.

The fact that he is the so called president means nothing at this point. It's a different world, his word is worthless.

2. O'Reilly really is a good person.

Judged by Trumps' standards, that is.

Judged by my standards, which aren't really all that fussy, he's a P.O.S.

3. Says Pussygrabber McGee

What a shock.

[YOHABLO]

4. Well of course Trump supports O'Reilly's behavior. It's his own behavior.

Trump hasn't a clue what O'Reilly could have done to deserve such disdain.

5. Trump calling you a good person is a bit like Shaquille O'Neal calling you a good free throw shooter

doesn't mean a whole lot.

6. Trump defending O'Reilly is malpractice..

Dude's gonna need a REAL good lawyer!

7. Trump is such a fucking embarrassment to this country. This is like an Onion article. WTH!!!

11. Trump does not even have enough sense to keep such vile thoughts to himself!

8. I wonder how he feels about Bill Cosby.

I bet it's the exact opposite.

12. Anybody remember when 45 marched out all those women alleging sexual harassment from Bill Clinton

during Hillary's debates. Those women were to be believed and heralded as victims. Actually only one sued and was paid during an settlement...Paula Jones. Yet none of 45's alleged victims or O'Reilly's victims are to be believed by the public. And remember, he said that Bill Clinton should not have settled with Paula Jones and at the time almost smeared all of the women having allegation against Clinton. And 45 was the #1 supporter of Mike Tyson.

So there is that!

14. I've never heard anyone refer to O'reilly as "a good person" before.

They're both pigs.
