Bill O’Reilly Roasts Trump Over Wild Pet-Eating Comments [Video]

Bill O’Reilly declared “nobody” won Tuesday night’s debate, but argued former President Donald Trump “descended” quickly and played to his base, including a detour where he pushed a fake conspiracy that migrants are stealing and eating pets.

“Nobody won the debate. Trump made the mistake of talking to his base,” O’Reilly told NewsNation’s Chris Cuomo during post-debate coverage.
