Bill O'Reilly's first invocation of Nelson Mandela following his death Thursday night was in a segment with Rick Santorum on the future of the Republican party. But that wasn't the strangest part of it, it was when O'Reilly felt the need to declare, a number of times, that Mandela was a communist. O'Reilly was attempting to make a point to Santorum about how the Republican party can make strides to win over more of the public en route to 2016, and that's when he brought up Mandela and had this to say about one of the most admired and respected men of all-time. "He was a communist, this man. He was a communist, all right? But he was a great man! What he did for his people was stunning!... He was a great man! But he was a communist!" Got it. Great man, great communist. Santorum, for his part, spoke highly of Mandela standing up against a "great injustice," and he argued that the United States faces similar injustice in the form of the "ever-increasing size of government that is taking over and controlling people's lives, and Obamacare is at the front and center of that."
