That was two and a half hours after the flight to the Turks and Caicos Islands was scheduled to take off.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">O\u2019Reilly defended himself in an email to the Mail, saying \u201cit was the airport worker who was arrogant, not him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe guy was arrogant and falsely accused me of threatening him and I said: \u2018You\u2019re lucky I didn\u2019t do that,&#8217;\u201d he said in the email.<\/p>\n<p>O\u2019Reilly also took to Twitter to defend himself. \u201cThe character assassins on social media completely lying about my interaction with a JetBlue guy who misled passengers during a five-hour delay,\u201d O\u2019Reilly <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BillOReilly\/status\/1516767993354723331\">tweeted<\/a> after the video surfaced on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe 72-year-old former host of The O\u2019Reilly Factor <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/tv\/bill-oreilly-speaks-out-against-jetblue-after-being-caught-on-camera-calling-employee-a-scumbag\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told<\/a> a news outlet on Tuesday that he handled the situation \u2018poorly\u2019 but did not apologize to the worker, reiterating that the JetBlue flight was delayed for hours without explanation, leading to frustration. He also accused JetBlue of fraudulent behavior, claiming the airline is selling tickets to flights that the company knows cannot arrive on schedule,\u201d the Examiner reported.<\/p>\n<p>O\u2019Reilly also gave a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/tv\/bill-oreilly-speaks-out-against-jetblue-after-being-caught-on-camera-calling-employee-a-scumbag\/\">statement<\/a> to Mediaite. \u201cThe real story beyond the exchange caught by Daily Mail, O\u2019Reilly said, is staffing shortages airlines like JetBlue are not being honest about, leading to numerous cancellations and delays for their flights,\u201d the website wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2018The story is JetBlue can\u2019t get their flights off the ground. It was crazy in the terminal,\u2019 O\u2019Reilly added, joking frustration among passengers was so fierce he may have prevented a riot by saying something,\u201d Mediaite reported.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJetBlue, O\u2019Reilly argued to Mediaite, is committing \u2018fraud in the inducement,\u2019 meaning they are selling tickets to flights they know they cannot complete, but are not being honest about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Joseph Curl has covered politics for 35 years, including 12 years as White House correspondent, and ran the Drudge Report from 2010 to 2015.
