Newsmax CEO Chris Ruddy said he thinks “very highly” of former Fox News star Bill O’Reilly — who was recently fired amid a series of sexual harassment allegations — according to Politico’s Hadas Gold, who tweeted that Ruddy would be “very open” to hiring him.
Ruddy is a longtime friend of President Trump, who is also a known friend of O’Reilly. Trump and O’Reilly were often spotted attending New York Yankees games together before the president entered the political world.
A recent story in The Hollywood Reporter mentioned that people “inside the White House” have “urged” Ruddy to bring O’Reilly to Newsmax.
