Fox News host Bill O'Reilly has come under fire for his comments about the slaves who built the White House.
On Tuesday's episode of "The O'Reilly Factor," O'Reilly analyzed a line from first lady Michelle Obama's speech at the Democratic National Convention on Monday.

"I wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves," Obama said during the speech. "I watch my daughters – two beautiful, intelligent, black young women – playing with their dogs on the White House lawn. And because of Hillary Clinton, my daughters and all our sons and daughters now take for granted that a woman can be president of the United States."

O'Reilly's response?
"Slaves that worked there were well-fed and had decent lodgings provided by the government, which stopped hiring slave labor in 1802," he said. "However, the feds did not forbid subcontractors from using slave labor. So Michelle Obama is essentially correct in citing slaves as builders of the White House, but there were others working, as well."
