Former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly dropped the hammer on a reporter and threatened to file a lawsuit over a report about slow ticket sales for Bill’s “History Tour” with former President Trump.

Trump spokeswoman Liz Harrington saying in a statement, “The History Tour has already sold over $5 million of tickets, and the excitement and enthusiasm is unlike anything we’ve seen before. Come December, the sold out shows will be a memorable night for all.”

“We haven’t spent a nickel on marketing, nothing,” O’Reilly said. “All those 7 million for four shows were done on the announcement. Marketing will start in about a week. Nobody has sold tickets this fast at this price, and VIPs are sold out at three of the four venues.”

“You put one word in there that’s not true, I’ll sue your ass off, and you can quote me on that.”

“You’re just a hatchet man, and that’s what you are,” he said to Politico reporter Daniel Lippman.

From The Hill:

Former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly reportedly threatened to sue a Politico reporter over an article revealing that sales for his “History Tour” with former President Trump were low, citing conversations with venue ticketing officials. 

Politico’s Daniel Lippman on Friday reported that tickets for the tour, which has four stops scheduled at locations in Texas and Florida this December, went on sale June 14, though venue officials said sales have so far been slow compared with other events held at the arenas. 

For example, a box office employee at Orlando, Fla.’s 20,000-person Amway Center, which will host Trump and O’Reilly on Dec. 12, told Politico, “There’s still a lot of tickets open.”

“We have concerts that are doing a lot better than this,” the employee added, speaking on the condition of anonymity. 

The employee said that a Bad Bunny concert scheduled for March at the arena sold out in two days and  that tickets for a Dec. 3 Kane Brown concert were almost gone. 

Employees at Houston’s Toyota Center, Dallas’s American Airlines Center and Sunrise, Fla.’s BB&T Center all said that a large portion of seats for the Trump-O’Reilly tour remain unsold, with a BB&T box office official telling Politico they expected sales to have been “definitely higher” at this point.
