Bill O’Reilly RIPS APART the ‘Free Speech’ Spin Surrounding Jimmy Kimmel With One Brutal Fact

He says the Trump v. Kimmel story is BS — the real free speech story is this.

Jimmy Kimmel will finally return to the air on Tuesday night, after his show was briefly yanked for falsely labeling Kirk’s suspected assassin as “one of them” in a distasteful dig at conservatives.

Democrats rushed to defend Kimmel, calling it a “First Amendment issue.” But Bill O’Reilly says that story is, frankly, bullsh*t. The real free speech story, he argues, is what these mainstream networks have been doing for years.

NewsNation’s Leland Vittert asked O’Reilly if he thinks Kimmel will apologize on his first show back since last Tuesday. O’Reilly blunted said “no,” and Vittert agreed.

After briefly noting that Kimmel’s punishment was a bit too harsh, he turned the tables on the “freedom of speech” narrative itself — branding the left’s spin on it as complete BS.

“Look, this [Trump v. Kimmel] story is bogus,” O’Reilly told Vittert. “The [real] story is that Disney and Kimmel, for three years, would not put on a non-liberal voice on his program.”

“You talk about no freedom of speech and expression? That story has been totally ignored,” O’Reilly lamented. “And it’s not just ABC. It was CBS, NBC, MSNBC, and CNN. Okay? They will not put any non-liberal voice on the air.”

O’Reilly recalled how, before the Trump era, he was booked regularly on mainstream networks. Now, he says he and other conservatives have been deliberately excluded from those programs — something he called “Putin stuff.”

“This whole freedom of speech BS is coming from the far left to make Kimmel a victim and to make Trump a villain when, for ten years, they have BANISHED all traditional conservative thought and discourse on all of their programs.”

“All of them,” O’Reilly continued. “They don’t want non-liberal voices. That is Putin stuff!”
