O’Reilly Says Romney Wanted to Lose

Television host Bill O’Reilly said that Mitt Romney did not want to win the presidential election, the Birmingham News reports.

“O’Reilly said he offered to let Romney appear on his prime time Fox News show the Monday night before the election. O’Reilly said his initial idea was to split the hour between Romney and President Obama, but Obama’s campaign turned it down. So O’Reilly said he offered the entire hour to Romney. He said he made the offer by phone to Mrs. Romney.”

Said O’Reilly: “We never got an answer. We never got a reason. They just didn’t do it. So we’re sitting there going, ‘Does this guy want to lose?’ The answer is yes, he did not want to be president of the United States, and that’s why he lost.”
