*Well Bill O’Reilly has concluded that the resurfacing “white power movement” is not a real thing, but rather a “mythological situation” created by a “liberal press furious that Donald Trump won the election.”
The Fox News host adds that the media is giddily putting out “absurd storylines designed to denigrate those who voted for Mr. Trump.”
In his Talking Points Memo on Monday, O’Reilly brought up the white nationalist conference held in Washington DC earlier this month to celebrate “the year of Donald Trump,” where some members were captured on leaked video throwing up the Hitler salute and yelling “Hail Trump.”
The weekend-long conference called “Become Who We Are — 2016” was organized by the alt-right think tank National Policy Institute to celebrate the resurfacing of the racist movement via the presidential campaign, according to the event page.
“It was a time when more people joined our movement than ever before and when our ideas began invading the mainstream,” reads a description of the event on NPI’s web site.
Tickets for their conference ranged from $175 for “Millennial” guests and up to $1,250 for “Patron’s Registration.” According to the New York Daily News, discounted tickets for millennials were sold out.
On Monday, O’Reilly dismissed the conference members as “275 hapless nuts” and chastised the press for covering it:
Creating a mythological situation, that is the subject of the third Talking Points memo. The liberal press is furious that Donald Trump won the election, so now they are putting out absurd storylines designed to denigrate those who voted for Mr. Trump. The top one is that somehow the white power movement is gaining momentum in the U.S.A., because of Trump. You may remember that on November 19th about 275 hapless nuts showed up for a white nationalist conference in Washington, D.C. 50 reporters were there to greet them. Let me give you that again, 275 morons covered by 50 journalists. That meeting got more press than a Louis Farrakhan rally ever has.
