The son of Ronald Reagan chose to defend disgraced former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly in a series of tweets this week. But defending an alleged serial harasser never ends well.
Michael Reagan, a conservative commentator for Newsmax who’s appeared on Fox, first fired off a tweet that addressed a claim that O’Reilly once referred to a female African American Fox employee as “hot chocolate,” saying that it was meant as a “compliment.”
Hot Choclare used to be a compliment on your looks today it is called sexual harassment..@oreillyfactor

Digging the hole deeper, Reagan said that women who wear “low cut dresses” and show “cleavage” shouldn’t be surprised when men gawk at them, and topped it off with an especially bizarre assertion:
If women are going to wear low cut dresses that show cleavage don't be harassed when we men look.Or shld we sue for sexual arousal?

O’Reilly was finally fired from Fox after his show saw an exodus of advertisers in the wake of numerous sexual harassment accusations.
