Conservative pundit Bill O’Reilly is urging former President Donald Trump to shift his focus away from inflammatory statements, including recent attacks on pop star Taylor Swift.
O’Reilly said Trump should prioritize critical national issues like border security as he vies for the presidency in 2024.
On NewsNation’s On Balance with Leland Vittert, O’Reilly said Trump’s comments about Swift are detrimental to his campaign. In addition, O’Reilly said Trump’s controversial and widely debunked claims about Haitian immigrants eating pets are also harmful to his bid for the White House.
“With Trump, it’s all centric, he’s got to look out,” O’Reilly said. “When he gets into eating cocker spaniels and ‘I hate Taylor Swift,’ he hurts himself.”
O’Reilly, a former Fox News host, addressed Trump’s recent rhetoric surrounding Swift, who recently endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election.Trump, who has clashed with numerous celebrities during his political career, wrote in a social media post on Sunday that he hates the singer.
In a Sunday post on Truth Social, his social media platform, the former president, in an all-caps message, wrote: “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!”
