The O’Reilly Factor Tuesday showed three members of the San Francisco City Board of Supervisors refusing to answer questions from a Fox News reporter about the city’s sanctuary city policy after the death of Kate Steinle, who was killed earlier this month, allegedly by an illegal immigrant deported from the United States on five occasions.
At the top of the show, host Bill O’Reilly noted his program had attempted to contact all of the supervisors’ offices, to no avail.
In the video, the reporter is first shown confronting Supervisor Jane Kim, who deflected when asked if the national media has come down on the city’s sanctuary city policy. “I think the issue here is gun control,” Kim answered. “No individual with that type of record should be able to access or be able to have possession of a gun.”
Kim was referring to Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, the man charged with Steinle’s murder. The firearm used in the murder, a .40 caliber pistol, allegedly belonged to a federal agent. It had been stolen several days before the murder.
In another impromptu interview with the reporter, supervisor Katy Tang said, “Of course Fox News would be this rude.” The reporter answered, “We tried this through your office and we got no response.” Tang replied, “Well you know what? Because you’re interviewing the wrong f***ing person!”
When the reporter attempted to ask supervisor Scott Wiener questions about the San Francisco immigration policy, he just answered repeatedly, “Fox News is not real news.” He even mentioned it on Twitter:
I made #FoxNews, telling the “reporter” that I wouldn’t talk to him on immigration b/c “Fox News isn’t real news.” https://t.co/JBmbkTMJnT

But many on Twitter were less than impressed:
@Scott_Wiener You, my friend, are a POS!

@Scott_Wiener Was Kate Steinle a REAL person to you?

@Scott_Wiener No, you made #FoxNews because you and your cohorts in San Francisco are cowards, unable to explain your sanctuary policies.
