Bill O'Reilly addressed his feud with the ladies of 'The View' on 'The O'Reilly Factor' Thursday night, going deeper into statistics he brought up on the talk show and running the tape with a bit of commentary.
"No one I know wants to insult Muslims, but many are tired of the political correctness surrounding the 9/11 attack. I am not in the business of sugarcoating harsh realities," O'Reilly said. "I enjoy jousting with the 'View' ladies because, with the exception of Elisabeth Hasselbeck, they don't see it my way and I want their audience to hear both sides."
See O'Reilly's segment:
"Sure, they have a right to do it," he continued. "But it's inappropriate because a lot of the 9/11 families who I know, say, 'Look, we don't want that.'"
When Joy, Whoopi and the other ladies expressed their opposition to 'The O'Reilly Factor' star's opinion, he attempted to shut them down. "Listen to me because you'll learn," he exclaimed, adding that he believes President Obama's numbers are falling because of his unwillingness to comment on "the wisdom of" building the community center.
The heated discussion went back and forth, but the blowout came after O'Reilly said, "Muslims killed us on 9/11." Goldberg and Behar attempted to specify that it was an extremist sect within Islam and not the religion itself that attacked the U.S. When O'Reilly continued to argue his point, the enraged hosts walked off the set.
Of the walkout, Behar told PopEater, "He's an idiot. I just couldn't sit there any longer and listen to him. After he apologized, Whoopi and I walked back out and sat down. I have no regrets."
