Former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly on Monday urged New York City voters not to support Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani, but used such outlandish rhetoric during his NewsNation appearance that even conservative anchor Leland Vittert had to push back.
“We’re about, in New York City, to elect a mayor who simply will not enforce any laws,” he told the “On Balance” host. “Any laws! It is gonna be anarchy and blood in the streets, and anybody who votes for that Mamdani is, in my opinion, committing an act of evil.”
“Pull a lever for that man, you are responsible for what happens later,” O’Reilly continued.
The fire-and-brimstone talk was too egregious for Vittert, who certainly isn’t a progressive — let alone a Democrat. The pundit noted many working-class people support Mamdani because of his vow to keep food prices low and not because they’re “evil.”
O’Reilly appeared to reject that idea entirely and doubled down on the fearmongering.
