The Russian government has demanded an apology from Fox News after anchor Bill O’Reilly called President Vladimir Putin “a killer” during an interview with U.S. President Donald Trump.
“We think such words from a Fox News correspondent are unacceptable, insulting,” Kremlin spokesman Dimitri Peskov told reporters, according to Russia’s state-run RIA news agency.
“We would prefer to receive apologies to our president from such a respectable television company,” he added.
Fox News and Bill O’Reilly have yet to respond to Peskov’s comments, which came in the early hours of the morning in U.S. time zones.
O’Reilly’s comments came in an interview with Trump that was broadcast before the Super Bowl on Sunday.
