Bill O’Reilly Snaps Over NSA Scandal, Suggests Further Targeting Of GOP Groups [Video]


On his program last night, Fox News pundit Bill O’Reilly showed outrage and exasperation over the newest surveillance scandal to stem from the Obama administration.

O’Reilly reacted with disgust over the revelation that the government was collecting massive amounts of U.S. cell phone data, and debated the NSA program with fellow anchor Megyn Kelly. O’Reilly suggested that the government would use the data to target conservative groups, as it was alleged to have done in the recent IRS scandal.

The host cited Senator Dianne Feinstein’s defense of the program, the argument being that the information can only be used is there is “reasonable suspicion that the records relate to terrorist activity.” O’Reilly balked at Feinstein’s defense, and said that the government having all of that cell phone information is more dangerous than we may realize.

“Did you hear about the IRS scandal? Did you hear about the IRS taking personal information and feeding it out to left-wing websites?… You’re telling me that can’t happen here? It absolutely can happen! So, for example, some conservative senator calls Trixie at the Hot Licks Massage Parlor, guess who knows it? And guess who can put it out any time they want?”

He continued:

“Trixie has a number, the senator has a number, the guy goes like this, ‘Whoa!’ and zips it out to some website that could hurt the senator!”

O’Reilly also mocked the notion that Feinstein is still in the business of protecting American privacy, shouting: “Does that make you feel good? All right, is everybody fine with Dianne Feinstein protecting our privacy?!”

Kelly pointed to recent polls that have shown President Obama’s trustworthiness falling in light of the recent string of scandals plaguing his administration.
