Russell Brand rips Bill O’Reilly for turning to communist East Germany for immigration ideas

On the latest episode of his web-series “The Trews,” comedian Russell Brand tackled the question of immigration reform by offering commentary on a segment from The Bill O’Reilly Show in which the Fox New host spoke to Karl Rove.

“If you built a border fence like they did in East Germany,” O’Reilly said before Brand interrupted him. “I’m going to stop you there, Bill, because that wasn’t actually a triumph of social engineering, or even architecture. That wall became a symbol for all that was wrong with the world — a country riven in two, the epitome of the Cold War, a symbol of conflict, dishonor, and disdain. Surely, Bill will say, ‘Let’s never again repeat these horrors.’”

“Bill, he’s really learning the wrong lessons from life,” Brand interjected. “Bill fails to absorb the most obvious lessons of history — the Berlin Wall was bad, what’s happening between Israel and Palestine is bad. These aren’t tidbits of knowledge that you should pick up and apply to America.”

“Mistake #2,” O’Reilly continued, “in this current flashpoint situation with the Rio Grande Valley — you could put the National Guard in there to stop the madness, just like you put them in there to stop the Rodney King riots, Hurricane Katrina, all those other things.”
