Newly announced presidential candidate Kamala Harris owned former Fox News blowhard Bill O’Reilly on Monday after he said she “lost” his vote.
In a short video posted to his Twitter account, the accused sexual predator said he can’t fathom voting for Harris after she fiercely opposed the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the United States Supreme Court.
“She denied Brett Kavanaugh due process in front of the nation, and in so doing has lost my vote,” O’Reilly said.

Full steam ahead on 2020 – Kamala Harris announced she will run today. She denied Brett Kavanaugh due process in front of the nation, and in so doing has lost my vote. I could not imagine any American for somebody who does not believe in due process. pic.twitter.com/9NzPikOzM7

O’Reilly said:
Kamala Harris wants to be president of the United States. Former attorney general of California, former district attorney of San Francisco. Her views of the world are exactly the same as Elizabeth Warren’s and Kirsten Gillibrand’s, but I hold Ms. Harris to a higher standard as the attorney general of the nation’s largest state. She should have understood due process, which she denied Brett Kavanaugh in front of the nation in the awful, terrible, scandalous and disgraceful hearings about the Supreme Court justice. Kamala Harris, by doing that, had lost my vote and I couldn’t imagine any American voting for somebody who doesn’t believe in due process.
Team Harris immediately shut down O’Reilly after his sexist attack
In a priceless response to O’Reilly’s sexist attack – calling her “exactly the same” as the other women running for president – Harris’s communications director Lily Adams shut him down.
“Somehow, we will soldier on,” she said, unfazed by the fact that the disgraced right-wing talking head won’t be throwing his support behind the Harris candidacy.

Not only will the Harris campaign “soldier on,” but they will likely wear Bill O’Reilly’s non-support as a badge of honor, no matter how much he whines about another formidable female candidate throwing her hat in the Democratic primary ring.
