Bill O’Reilly revealed the one thing he banned from Christmas dinner
Bill O’Reilly had a Christmas message for his fellow Americans.
It wasn’t at all what anyone was expecting.
And Bill O’Reilly revealed the one thing he banned from Christmas dinner.
Bill O’Reilly appeared on Newsmax Christmas Day and detailed his strategy for avoiding contentious family arguments over dinner.
Thanksgiving and Christmas are two occasions where families gather to celebrate.
But the dinner table can turn into a warzone thanks to family members suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome.
O’Reilly told Newsmax that he simply refuses to talk politics at all at the holiday dinner table as the point of Thanksgiving and Christmas isn’t to debate the merits of Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs.
The point of these holidays – O’Reilly said – was to reconnect with family members so you can all share in each other’s blessings.
“Well, I wouldn’t talk politics at all. Why bother? You know, the purpose of the holidays, Christmas, and Thanksgiving is to get family and friends together to talk about your lives. You know, what have you been doing? What have you seen that’s interesting lately?” O’Reilly stated.
O’Reilly said anyone coming over for Thanksgiving and Christmas understood that he forbade partisan politics for these family gatherings.
“I like to keep it funny. I like to keep it, you know, light and lively. But heavy-duty partisan politics? That’s not happening in my house,” O’Reilly continued.
O’Reilly said he had no problems talking to “the urchins, anybody under the age of 25,” asking them questions such as, “What do you like about the school? What is bad about the school? What’s the most fun time you’ve had? Is there anybody giving you a hard time? That kind of thing.”
But politics was off limits and O’Reilly compared how he enforced his rule to Don Corleone in The Godfather.
“I’m like Don Corleone, okay? I’m sitting at the head of the table and, you know, people are talking to me, but Don Corleone had lines,” O’Reilly added. “We’re not going to talk about our extortion rackets at Thanksgiving, okay? We’re not going to do that. We’re gonna talk about your life and what you’ve been doing.”
“So I’ve never had a problem with any holiday, and they all come here to my house on Long Island, and everybody seems to have a good time, and that’s what it’s all about. But if somebody’s out of line, I’ll say, ‘Hey, let’s go for a walk,’ and then me and the person will go for a walk and we’ll sort it out outside of the public domain,” O’Reilly concluded.
Leftwingers love to ruin Christmas and Thanksgiving dinner with endless political debate.
Bill O’Reilly won’t allow that to happen in his house.
