Bill O'Reilly's recent sexist remarks towards congresswoman Maxine Waters should come as no surprise. O'Reilly has long-held sexist attitudes towards women.
Shockingly, Fox News has spent $13 million over the years to settle claims against O'Reilly for sexist behavior, including offering promotions to female employees and then pursuing sexual relations with them.
This behavior has no place on a number-one cable news show. Fox News needs to know that sexist comments and actions, on and off screen, are not acceptable by any employee, even its star host.
Tell Fox News to dump Bill O'Reilly.
Fox News is responsive to public pressure, having recently dismissed its former chairman, Roger Ailes, after a sexual harassment scandal.
Now, we need to raise our voices and ensure that the same thing happens to Bill O'Reilly. With pressure from people like you, we can ensure that O'Reilly's sexism is shut down.
O'Reilly's behavior only normalizes sexist comments and actions in the workplace. We can make O'Reilly an example and send a strong message that these ideas no longer have a place in our society.
Please join me in signing today to tell Fox News to ditch Bill O'Reilly and his aggressive sexism.
