“Whoa whoa whoa whoa,” O’Reilly said. “Have you ever seen me do a softball interview with anybody?"

During an appearance on the "O'Reilly Factor" on Friday, Ramos expanded upon the comments he made in an interview this week with Politico. He told O'Reilly that many journalists are more concerned about maintaining friendly relations with their sources and complained that Washington, D.C. "feels like a club."

..........................................

"Of course there are exceptions, but we all have biases," Ramos said. "You have your own biases. I mean, whenever you're covering Obamacare or Benghazi or supporting the Republican Party more (than)the Democratic Party."

O'Reilly, who has called himself a "traditionalist" for years while insisting that he's every bit as tough on Republicans as Democrats, couldn't believe his ears.

“Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa,” O’Reilly said. “Have you ever seen me do a softball interview with anybody?”

Ramos said he had indeed seen O'Reilly conduct tough interviews, but he added that he's also seen O'Reilly "supporting more Republicans than Democrats."

ALL PRESIDENTS in history combined have been interrupted during interviews.

Oreilly shows zero respect to OBama and I wish Obama would never speak to him again
