Bill O'Reilly is blaming his ouster from Fox News not on the multiple allegations of sexual harassment made against him, but rather "forces of evil and darkness."
That's apparently code for liberal activists, and in an interview with Breitbart News, the former O'Reilly Factor host said he thinks "people have to realize, No. 1, how severe the problem has become, and No. 2, that it's going to take courage to fight it. I'm the poster boy for that. I've been under attack for 16 years, and finally, these forces of evil and darkness got me." If that sounds murky, don't worry — O'Reilly said that "someday, all of it will be exposed."
