Having caused quite a stir domestically when in an interview with Donald Trump airing just before the Superbowl, Fox News host Bill O’Reilly described Putin as “a killer” as he tried to press the U.S. president to explain more fully why he respected his Russian counterpart, on Monday the Kremlin slammed O’Reilly’s “factual statement” and said it wanted an apology from Fox News over what it said were “unacceptable” comments.
“We consider such words from the Fox TV company to be unacceptable and insulting, and honestly speaking, we would prefer to get an apology from such a respected TV company,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on a conference call.
As reported previously, O’Reilly labeled Putin “a killer” during an interview with US President Donald Trump, in which they discussed the Republican’s numerous statements on his willingness to work with Russia to jointly deal with issues such as terrorism. Trump shrugged off the comment, saying: “There are a lot of killers. We’ve got a lot of killers. What, do you think our country is so innocent?”
