“That’s not true,” Mr. Colmes said, as reported by Politico. “Hold it, hold it, because now I’m getting teed off at you,” Mr. O'Reilly said. “Give me one damn program he said he’d cut. One?”
Mr. Colmes said the president has cut entitlements; Mr. O'Reilly denied that claim.
“What do you want to yell for?” Mr. Colmes asked. “Because you are lying. You are lying,” Mr. O'Reilly said.
Mr. Colmes accused Mr. O'Reilly of not “lik[ing] the president,” and said “but don’t sit there and call me a liar.”
