Fox News host Bill O'Reilly described Putin as "a killer" in the interview with Trump as he tried to press the U.S. president to explain more fully why he respected his Russian counterpart. O'Reilly did not say who he thought Putin had killed.

"We consider such words from the Fox TV company to be unacceptable and insulting, and honestly speaking, we would prefer to get an apology from such a respected TV company," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on a conference call.

In January last year, after a British judge ruled that Putin had "probably" authorized the murder of former KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko in London, Trump said he saw "no evidence" the Russian president was guilty.


"First of all, he says he didn't do it. Many people say it wasn't him. So who knows who did it?" Trump said. ................................

1. Breakout the pop corn

Epic Battle of the Lying Titans is about to begin.

[yuiyoshida]

2. Fox and the Trump Administration can not seem to find the line

on which to stand, either its with Russia or against Russia. They may stand on our side of the line, but they are so very strongly leaning over it...

[bdamomma]

3. Reilly most of his views are wrong

but on this is correct about Putin being a killer.

[FailureToCommunicate]

4. Sorry Kremlin toady, we have this thing called the First Amendment here. Oh, you

don't have one of those?

Go cry a river.

Trump denigrating the country he is supposed to be leading is the REAL disturbing bit from that interview last night.

5. Blackmail

Maybe Vlad could release the pee pee tapes as punishment? He knows he helped get a lunatic into our WH.

6. tRUMP...such a joke!

So tRUMP says that Putin says he didn't do it, so that means he didn't do it! Yeah, like a murderer is going to admit to it...you fool!

7. Trump will ask Mexico for the apology

[Progressive dog]

8. Even Fox News won't retract the truth,

will they? Even the so called president couldn't deny that Putin is "a killer".

[mountain grammy]

9. Well they better say I'm sorry, by golly,

and they better do it quick.. Don't pick on Puty, there, I'm sure there's a treasure trove of salacious leaks about all the degenerates, Bill and his good buddy donald and all the little foxes..
How do I prove I'm right? Let's see how fox walks this back.

[Scarsdale]

11. President Bannon

When will he weigh in on this? How about Kellyanne Conjob? Something HAS to be done, after all according to Donald Jr. (Beavis) there is lots of money flowing into their coffers from Russia.

10. "... we would prefer to get an apology..."

Prefer an apology? In lieu of what, polonium?

[VWolf]

12. "First of all, he says he didn't do it"

WTF?????

Can't wait to use that argument in case I'm ever accused of murder.

15. Well, his word's good enough for me!

Assuming for a nano-second that his hands are not stained with his political opponents' blood, he is responsible for the deaths of those on board Malasia Airline flight 17, which was shot down at the Ukraine-Russia border in 2014. His regime supplied the pro-russian insurgents with Buk surface-to-air missiles and the vehicle from which that particular missile was launched.

In July 2015, Malaysia proposed that the United Nations Security Council set up an international tribunal to prosecute those deemed responsible for the downing of the plane. The Malaysian resolution gained a majority on the Security Council, but was vetoed by Russia.

And now we have Putin's puppet -- the So-Called Ruler of the United States (#SCROTUS) -- defending him on national television!

I'd love to be a fly on the wall when the Shit Gibbon sits down with European leaders!

14. Trump is owned by Russia

In January last year, after a British judge ruled that Putin had "probably" authorized the murder of former KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko in London, Trump said he saw "no evidence" the Russian president was guilty.


"First of all, he says he didn't do it. Many people say it wasn't him. So who knows who did it?" Trump said.

*******
Just like we can't ever know if Russia was hacking the election according to Red Don.

16. What about "thug" and "war criminal?"

Media and politicians have called Putin worse things than "killer."

As for Trump, he's bringing that "many people say..." line
to the Presidency. By now most rational people recognize it
as the intro to an "alternate fact."

Putin has Trump by the balls. What does the FSB have on him?

[ehrnst]

17. Perhaps O'Reilly might suffer some mysterious "organ failure" soon

if recent history is any guide.

[world wide wally]

18. I can hear Trump now trying to smooth things over between Murdoch and Putin...

Because he is such a great negotiator and all.

19. Has the Kremlin gone after Mitch McConnell, who also called him a thug?

... On CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell offered a different description of Putin.

“He’s a thug,” McConnell said. “The Russians annexed Crimea, invaded Ukraine, and messed around in our elections. I don’t think there’s any equivalency between the way Russians conduct themselves and the way the United States does.”

Nebraska GOP Sen. Ben Sasse doesn’t either. ... ... "the murderous thugs that are in Putin’s defense of his cronyism.”

20. I want an apology from the Kremlin

for screwing with our election. So, Putin, just STFU.

[bravenak]

21. Get in line, Kremlin.

This was one of their only honest moments
