NEW YORK (KNX) — “You’re going to lose your job,” shouts former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly in a viral video of an altercation with a JetBlue kiosk worker he also calls a “f**king scumbag.”
O’Reilly, 72, was caught on video by a bystander losing his temper on an airline worker after his scheduled flight to Turks and Caicos was delayed for five hours on April 3.
While the JetBlue employee cannot always be heard, O’Reilly’s repeated outbursts are clear.
“What you’re gonna do… it’s three hours late,” O’Reilly says in the clip, followed by, “No, no, no, you’re gonna find out” while pointing his finger angrily at the worker.
When the worker responds, O’Reilly derides him. “You f**king scumbag. Don’t talk to me like that.”
The No Spin News podcast host then curses at him some more until the employee responds, “You’re threatening me with violence, man.” O’Reilly responds, “No, I’m not… You’re going to lose your job.”
The video was obtained by Daily Mail and posted online. You can see it here.
“I couldn’t believe how arrogant he was,” the person who shot the video told Daily Mail. “That poor JetBlue guy just works there, it’s not his fault the flight was delayed, he was just trying to do his job.”
JetBlue declined to comment on the video, saying they had not yet seen it.
O’Reilly told Daily Mail that the discussion was “heated.”
“The guy was arrogant and falsely accused me of threatening him, and I said: ‘You're lucky I didn't do that.’”
