After retweeting a message holding inaccurate statistics about black violence, GOP candidate Donald Trump stopped by The O'Reilly Factor to speak with Fox News' Bill O'Reilly. The host brought up the tweet, claiming that even he was bothered by it, and told the Republican frontrunner to stop tweeting messages that could lend themselves to his "racist" line of thinking the "liberal media" is looking for.
In fact, he told him to just stop tweeting.
"Are you aware that the liberal media and the Democratic Party, in general, are trying to paint you as a racist?" O'Reilly asked. To which Trump assured he was aware, but is "the least racist person on Earth."
Something the Latino community, and John Leguizamo, probably disagrees with.
O'Reilly then explained that while he knows Trump isn't a racist, he was bother by the below tweet, specifically the part that claims that whites are killed by blacks at a rate of 81%. "That's totally wrong," O'Reilly said, adding that the true number hovers around 15%.

Trump then claimed that it was actually a retweet, and not a tweet of his own. And given all of the things he's supposed to be doing, how on Earth is he supposed to "check every statistic" that comes across his desk, he suggested.
Of course, with the severity of the tweet in mind, perhaps it may have been best to check that statistic.
Just saying.
"Donald, you're a presidential contender. You've got to check it," O'Reilly added. "Don't do this. Don't put your name on stuff like this ... I told you, you shouldn't tweet ever. You shouldn't be tweeting! Don't tweet."
So, folks, will Donald Trump stop tweeting? No, of course not.
But should he?
