O'Reilly: Far Left Swayed School Kids in Gun Protests

The tens of thousands of middle and high school kids who staged a nationwide protest against gun violence on Wednesday were unwittingly influenced by far-left groups whose ultimate goal is to have Americans' firearms confiscated, Bill O'Reilly tells Newsmax TV.

"This is a good news-bad news situation," O'Reilly, the bestselling author and host of "Now Spin News," said in an interview with John Bachman.

"You want kids to pay attention to their country and public policy, but you also have a severe group-think, particularly in high school … The pressure is to conform to walking out of school in favor of more stringent gun control.

"What the kids and the American public don't know is that this walk out was put together by a group called 'EMPOWER.' And who are those people? Well, they're tied to the far-left Women's March organization, which as we exposed last week, is tied to [Nation of Islam founder] Louis Farrakhan."
