Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) announced on Monday that she’s running for president, but she’s already lost one voter: disgraced former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly.
Full steam ahead on 2020 – Kamala Harris announced she will run today. She denied Brett Kavanaugh due process in front of the nation, and in so doing has lost my vote. I could not imagine any American for somebody who does not believe in due process. pic.twitter.com/9NzPikOzM7

Harris’ communications director was undaunted by the anti-endorsement.
“Somehow, we will soldier on,” Lily Adams tweeted.
Others mocked O’Reilly, with many pointing out that the conservative talker never would’ve voted for Harris in any case. And more than a few made not-so-subtle references to O’Reilly’s own history.
O’Reilly left Fox News in 2017 after revelations of legal settlements related to several sexual harassment allegations. The New York Times reported that he paid $32 million to settle some of those accusations.
Wow: Bill O’Reilly announces he will NOT be voting for Kamala Harris. Hard to see how she wins the Democratic primary now. https://t.co/bKEVr6AmgX

Noted feminist Bill O'Reilly unable to vote for Kamala Harris because he doesn't understand due process. https://t.co/vmztSqXWue

Well, you know the old saying: as @BillOReilly goes, so goes the sexual assault defense attorney voting bloc of the electorate. https://t.co/rAQpqzRDtf
