Bill O’Reilly laughs at man dragged off United Airlines
Bill O’Reilly seems sensitive.
The Fox News host had an on-air laugh Monday night while reporting about the man who was dragged off a United Airlines flight recently in Chicago for not giving up his seat on an overbooked flight, according to the New York Daily News.
“I shouldn’t be laughing, but it’s just so bizarre,” said O’Reilly, as footage rolled of the man being dragged off the plane against his will.
This is where I don’t say Bill O’Reilly could use a good dragging.
The video went viral Monday, showing three Chicago O’Hare Airport officers haul passenger Dr. David Dao down the aisle after pulling him from his seat on a Kentucky-bound flight. United overbooked the flight and tried fixing the situation by offering passengers money to take a later flight. After not getting the response they wanted, they reportedly randomly selected people to leave the flight.
Dao, who said he needed to see patients the next day, screamed in pain and got bloodied in the altercation.
The airline tried moving four passengers because four of their employees reportedly needed to be on the plane.
Most of the world collectively gasped at the video, taken by a passenger on the plane. But not O’Reilly, who, of course, was ripped on the Internet.
“It’s OK Bill, we’ll all be laughing when you are dragged kicking and screaming from Fox,” someone tweeted.
