By MATT SHUHAM Published OCTOBER 23, 2017 5:25 PM
Former Fox News Host Eric Bolling said it was beyond inappropriate for his former colleague, Bill OReilly, to have told New York Times reporters that his son had died as a result of reporting about him.
OReilly brought up the death of Bollings son, which occurred hours after Fox News announced Bolling was leaving the network following sexual harassment allegations, in an interview with the New York Times on Wednesday. The Times published audio clips of the interview on Monday in its The Daily podcast.
I urge you to think about what you put in your newspaper. Eric Bollings son is dead, OReilly told the Times reporters interviewing him. Hes dead because of allegations made in my opinion and I know this to be true against Mr. Bolling.
In a statement to the Times Emily Steel, Bolling said I believe it is beyond inappropriate for anyone to bring in the tragic death of my son Eric Chase Bolling.

But Boiling kept talking about that bogus ass Hillary murdered Seth Rich LIE, and Rich's exasperated parents BEGGED FauXXX to stop and they (Boiling) kept on with that LIE, so I have NO pity for either of these POS.

You see, Eric, theres a saying out where some people actually DO read their Bibles and other religious texts, and pray for the will and guidance to live righteously and do right. Its very simple, easy to remember. Its What goes around, comes around.
Many of us non-reactionaries think that some of what youve been spreading has come home to Poppa.

Is it just me, or did other people also hear, "and I am unanimous in this" when reading that line?
