The first about the assassination of Lincoln, the second about the assassination of Kennedy. Knowing the vile, racist, conservative opinions espoused by O’Reilly (encouraged by his employer Fox News) I find it interesting and ironically fitting that his two books are both about the assassination of two prominent progressive leaders who were also known for their stance on civil rights.

It begs the question, why is Oreilly writing about progressive presidents who were assassinated?
