Maxine Waters is the senior most African-American woman in Congress. She's served in the House of Representatives since 1991 and has been in public service since 1977. She's about as impressive as a person can be, and even if she wasn't, she would still deserve to be treated with respect, because she's a human being.

Unfortunately Bill O'Reilly can't turn off his sexism and racism long enough to see that. Earlier today, O'Reilly went on Mr. Trump's Neighborhood Fox and Friends, and when confronted with a video of Congresswoman Waters delivering an impassioned speech about Trump supporters who are racist and divisive aren't patriotic, Bill O'Reilly responded in the most galling and disrespectful manner imaginable and said:

“I didn’t hear a word she said. I was looking at the James Brown wig.”

It's vile on just about every level. One, the idea that her opinions aren't worth listening to because you don't like her appearance is fucking appalling. Two, the idea that she's wearing a "James Brown wig" is clearly a racist, gross insult to say about a black woman. Third, you support Donald fucking Trump! His hair looks like he super glued some feathers on his head in 1982 and is still just rolling with it. Fourth, you support Donald fucking Trump and he speaks like a fucking idiot, while Maxine Waters is what an effective orator actually looks like. This administration, man. Christ.

Update: Bill O'Reilly has apologized for his remarks: "As I have said many times, I respect Congresswoman Maxine Waters for being sincere in her beliefs. I said that again today on Fox & Friends calling her 'old school.' Unfortunately, I also made a jest about her hair which was dumb. I apologize."
