Trump pushes Democrats to ‘verge of collapse’: Bill O’Reilly

Democrats' attempts to push back on President Trump during his speech to Congress earlier this week have boomeranged to the extent that their party could effectively be silenced for years to come, according to veteran news host Bill O’Reilly.

O’Reilly says low points for Democrats on Tuesday included the ejection of Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) after he interrupted the president and waved a cane, and the party’s refusal to acknowledge a young cancer survivor whom Trump highlighted during his speech.

The party’s all-consuming hatred toward the president, as O’Reilly described it, could turn off voters and relegate Democrats to the type of irrelevancy Republicans suffered during the 1930s and 1940s.

“He taunted the Democratic Party into making a myriad of mistakes,” O’Reilly, referring to Trump, said Wednesday during an appearance on NewsNation's “CUOMO”.

“I think the Democratic Party is on the verge of collapse," he added.

Host Chris Cuomo responded that hostility isn’t solely the purview of Democrats.

“You can’t look at Trumpism, you can’t look at MAGA, and not see a hateful dynamic,” he said. “There’s a lot of hate to go around, Bill, it’s not just the Democrats. They’ve just now fallen into it.”

O’Reilly added that there are some elements of hatred within the Trump sphere but claimed it "wasn’t on display” Tuesday.
