A 2015 arrest by Detroit police of a key accuser of Bill O'Reilly for
giving a false report of a crime has raised serious doubts as to her credibility.

In April, O'Reilly was fired from Fox News shortly after Perquita Burgess claimed the host made sexually suggestive comments to her, including
calling her "hot chocolate."

Burgess worked at Fox News for several weeks in 2008 as a clerical temp.

Shortly after an April 1st New York Times report detailed sexual
harassment allegations by several women against O'Reilly, Burgess called a
21st Century Fox hotline claiming alleged workplace misconduct by
O'Reilly. 21st Century is the parent company of Fox News.

At the time her charges emerged, O'Reilly's program, "The O’Reilly
Factor," was already in the throes of an advertiser-boycott campaign being pushed by several liberal organizations.

The boycott started after the New York Times report that seven-figure settlements had been reached with five women who said O'Reilly had
subjected them to inappropriate behavior. O'Reilly told the Times he
signed off on the settlements to protect his family from controversy and
had not admitted any guilt.

All of the allegations included in the Times report were more than a
decade old.

Burgess's more recent allegations, however, played a significant role in O’Reilly’s termination at the network, a source close to Fox News told
Newsmax.

"I had no idea who this woman was," O’Reilly told Newsmax. O'Reilly denied
ever having a conversation with her.

"So when it came out, it was stunning," he said.

The day after O'Reilly was fired, Burgess went public with her account in
a high-profile appearance on ABC's "The View."

Burgess told the audience she noticed O'Reilly making a "grunt noise," or clearing his throat, when he passed by her desk.

She said on another occasion he remarked, "Looking good there, girl!"

Burgess, an African-American woman, also said O'Reilly once called out to
her, "Hey, hot chocolate."

She said the remark was "very plantational."

According to Burgess's account, she found the alleged remarks and leering behavior "uncomfortable" and "embarrassing."

Burgess stated she shared her experiences with her sister and boyfriend,
but did not report them to the network.

The day Fox announced his departure from the network, O'Reilly issued a statement saying the charges leveled against him were "completely
unfounded."

Newsmax has obtained two documents that cast doubt on Burgess's
credibility.

A Detroit Police report dated Feb. 11, 2015, documents Burgess's arrest on charges of making a false report and obstructing a court order.

According to the police document, Burgess called authorities and alleged
her boyfriend had struck her in the face with a gun. Police said when they arrived at the scene Burgess "appeared intoxicated."

The arresting officer stated: "I asked Ms. Burgess where the gun was that
she was struck with in the face, she replied there is no gun. I again
asked her where the gun was, and if she had been assaulted. Ms. Burgess
stated there was no gun, and he didn’t assault me!"

The boyfriend told police she had threatened him, saying she would call
"the cops saying you hit me with a gun!"

According to the police document, Burgess was arrested for filing a false felony report and for violating a personal protection order.

In a statement provided to Newsmax, Lisa Bloom, Burgess's attorney, acknowledges the police report involving her client, but states that
Burgess and her former boyfriend "both believe the charges were based on a misunderstanding and were not pursued by the police or prosecutors."

In another document, a social media user thought to be Burgess tweeted on
Nov. 24, 2012: "… up until 10 years ago Laurence Fishburne could get every
oz. of my hot chocolate."

Addressing that tweet, Bloom stated: "Ms. Burgess has used many terms to
refer to herself, including on occasion 'bitch' and the N word. That does
not give others – especially her superiors in her workplace – permission
to use offensive language about her."

O'Reilly voiced frustration that the media had published harshly negative accounts about him without checking on the background of the accusers.

"The press just printed everything she said," he said. "She's on 'The
View,' and nobody's even checking her out? I mean, come on."

"This is why people use the term witch hunt," he said.

O'Reilly, a best-selling author and star of the No. 1-rated cable news
show for 16 years, maintains there is "not one shred of evidence to back
any of these accusations."

In his 42-year career working for 12 major news organizations, O'Reilly
says, he was never the subject of a single human resources complaint
regarding his behavior in the workplace.

O’Reilly described the push to get him kicked off Fox's airwaves as "a well-organized political hit, very well-funded," and did not rule out
future legal action against those who orchestrated it.

He added that he expects more revelations relating to his departure from
Fox News.

"We have evidence, I can tell you, that is shocking. Physical evidence
that will come out that is shocking," he said with emphasis. "I've seen
it. So this is the first. There will be others."

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party has run out of gas.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for ending the disaster of the Obama presidency.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.

ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its supporters can dispute that.

Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.

Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
