Bill O'Reilly tells Trump he 'will not win' on separating migrant families: 'Reverse course today'

Former Fox News host Bill O'Reilly had some sharp criticism for President Trump's administration and its decision to separate parents and children who cross the border illegally.

O'Reilly on Monday sided with former first lady Laura Bush, who penned a scathing op-ed denouncing the "immoral" and "cruel" practice.

The disgraced Fox News host further diverged from Trump in a second tweet, predicting that the president "will not win on this one" and should "reverse course" immediately. Add O'Reilly to the list of Trump allies who are calling on the administration to change its ways.
