Bill O'Reilly: If Warren ever gains the White House, she’d make Barack Obama look like Ronald Reagan

While Warren insists she’s “not running for president,” she hasn’t definitively ruled out a White House bid, and that’s enough to convince groups like MoveOn.org, Democracy for America, and the Ready for Warren super PAC that it’s worth the effort to convince the senator to enter the 2016 contest. Naturally, O’Reilly felt compelled to weigh in on the Warren for President boomlet, and to hear him tell it, she’s nothing short of a dangerous radical.

“Ms. Warren despises Wall Street and big banks, saying they have rigged the capitalistic system,” O’Reilly said during the “Talking Points Commentary” segment of last night’s “The O’Reilly Factor.” The host didn’t dwell on the possibility that Warren’s anti-Wall Street message has caught fire because Americans harbor deep distrust toward banks and believe that the financial system is indeed rigged against them.

“She believes that the social contract should allow punitive taxation on corporations and wealthy individuals in order to provide for those who do not have very much. Such taxation would cripple the consumer-driven marketplace, as we have seen under President Obama,” he continued. The marketplace appears to have missed that memo; job growth continues to pick up steam, nearly two years after Obama let George W. Bush’s tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans expire in 2013, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average has increased 115 percent on the radical Marxist Kenyan’s watch.

“It is clear that the liberal policies of President Obama have weakened this nation abroad, created a stagnant economy and a staggering national debt,” he said. “But if Sen. Warren ever gains the White House, she’d make Barack Obama look like Ronald Reagan.”
