Fox News host Bill O’Reilly claimed that “the left in America is demanding that the Electoral College system put into place in 1787 be scrapped” because “the left wants power taken away from the white establishment.” O’Reilly has taken a stand against “the left” on behalf of white people several times in the past, claiming that “the left sees white men as a problem” and that the left sells “rank propaganda that white supremacy drives the government.”

Bill O’Reilly: “The Left Wants Power Taken Away From The White Establishment.” Fox News host Bill O’Reilly asserted in his “Talking Points Commentary”that “the left in America is demanding that the Electoral College system put into place in 1787 be scrapped” because “the left wants power taken away from the white establishment.” O’Reilly criticized “the left” for seeing “white privilege in America as an oppressive force that must be done away with” and claimed that Democrats’ goal is that “white working-class voters must be marginalized.” From the December 20 edition of Fox News’ The O’Reilly Factor:

BILL O’REILLY (HOST): Talking Points believes this is all about race. The left sees white privilege in America as an oppressive force that must be done away with. Therefore, white working class voters must be marginalized, and what better way to do that than center the voting power in the cities? Very few commentators will tell you that the heart of liberalism in America today is based on race. It permeates almost every issue; that white men have set up a system of oppression. That system must be destroyed. Bernie Sanders peddled that. To some extent, Hillary Clinton did. And the liberal media tries to sell that all day long. So-called white privilege, bad. Diversity, good.

If you look at the voting patterns, it's clear that the Democrats are heavily reliant on the minority vote; also on the woman vote. White men have largely abandoned the Democrats and the left believes this is because of racism, that they want to punish minorities, keep them down. So that's what's really going on when you hear about the Electoral College and how unfair it allegedly is.

Summing up, the left wants power taken away from the white establishment. They want a profound change in the way America is run. Taking voting power away from the white precincts is the quickest way to do that.

Five Other Times O’Reilly Took A Stand Against “The Left” On Behalf Of The “White Establishment”

O’Reilly: The “Rank Propaganda That White Supremacy Drives The Government” Is “Corrosive, Hateful, And Dishonest In The Extreme.” From the June 23, 2015, edition of Fox News’ The O’Reilly Factor:

BILL O’REILLY (HOST): The truth is America is changing. And those that dislike the country are taking advantage of all the chaos. They're selling rank propaganda that white supremacy drives the government. That the working man and woman cannot get ahead. That all authority is corrupt. White privilege. That's corrosive, hateful, and dishonest in the extreme.

O'Reilly: “The Left's Secret Immigration Plan” Is To Have “Traditional America Wiped Off The Face Of The Earth.” From the December 1, 2015, edition of Fox News’ The O’Reilly Factor:

BILL O'REILLY (HOST): The radical left immigration vision would profoundly change all of America's traditions, all of them. And that's what the left wants. Because that ideology sees the American Judeo-Christian tradition as oppressive, exploitative, and a white privilege legacy. Thus, the uber-left wants traditional America wiped off the face of the Earth. That's what's truly going on. And if Americans don't wise up quickly, the left-wing vision of immigration may very well become a reality. 

O’Reilly: “The Fact That I Am White And In A Powerful Position Makes Me The Enemy." From the April 17, 2015, edition of Fox News’ The O’Reilly Factor:

BILL O’REILLY (HOST): The other night on the Factor, I said this:

[BEGIN VIDEO]

O’REILLY: Our traditional American values are under siege nearly everywhere. If you’re a Christian or a white man in the U.S.A., it’s open season on you.

[...]

[END CLIP]

[...]

O’REILLY: Apparently [Michael Eric] Dyson believes the slave trade continues to define America. Therefore, all white people are complicit. Complete bull. I have no complicity. None. I’m a big fan of John Quincy Adams, the abolitionist. And throughout my life I have donated big money to help suffering minorities in this country and all over the world. Mr. Dyson doesn’t care about that. The fact that I am white and in a powerful position makes me the enemy.

Here’s the truth: our traditional values in America are under siege. We’re seeing dramatic changes in the definition of human beings on the abortion front, in the definition of marriage, and the definition of capitalism, among other things. Anyone who denies that is a dishonest idiot. It is true that in the corridors of power, white men still dominate, but there are many reasons for that. But if an American woman or a minority wants to succeed in this country at a high level, they can.

O’Reilly: “The Left Sees White Men As A Problem.” From the May 28, 2009, edition of Fox News’ The O’Reilly Factor:

BILL O’REILLY (HOST): No matter how you feel about Judge [Sonia] Sotomayor, you should understand that there is a double standard when it comes to evaluating political people. If you are a woman or a minority, you will be treated differently, especially in the liberal press. The left sees white men as a problem. They believe women and minorities in power is a solution to that problem. That is called gender and race politics. With minority voters now able to swing presidential elections, gender and racial situations become extremely important.

O'Reilly: Civil Rights Leaders Want “To Divide The Country Along Racial Lines Because That's Good For Business.” From the July 25, 2013, edition of Fox News’ The O’Reilly Factor:

BILL O’REILLY (HOST): [I]t's clear that people pushing racial injustice that they believed happened in the [George] Zimmerman trial, they don't really want to talk about complicated racial problems in general. What the grievance industry does want is to divide the country along racial lines because that's good for business. And they may be succeeding.

[...]

So you can see, the state of race in America seems to be getting worse. That's because problems are not being fixed, and many black Americans continue to blame white Americans for the poverty and crime they are facing. Talking Points believes that the collapse of the African-American traditional family is the primary reason the gap between blacks and whites is so large. And as I said at the top of this memo, our leadership simply will not deal with that issue.
