Bill O'Reilly tried to insult Andrew Yang after he dropped out of the presidential race. Andrew Yang didn't do as well as a presidential candidate, and he isn't very hot at being a presidential historian. The former Democratic presidential hopeful wrote on Monday that he might have assumed that the ticket would inspire a divided nation to come together in unity. The only unity he inspired was mockery on social media at the example he chose to represent his dream of bipartisanship. He wrote that Lincoln won the presidency with 39.8% of the vote in a four-way race. Lincoln won the presidency on the brand new Republican ticket in 1860 with 39.8% in a four-way race. He took a Democrat, Andrew Johnson as his running mate in 1864. — Andrew Yang🧢⬆️🇺🇸 (@AndrewYang) April 11, 2022 Johnson was a terrible example for promoting a bipartisan government since he was a leading contender for the worst president. Johnson owned enslaved people and was against allowing Black Americans to vote, despite being against secession. He was the first president to be impeached. The users of the social network felt obliged to fill in the blanks. Then Lincoln was murdered and Andrew Johnson sabotaged Reconstruction—leading to a Confederacy that never truly died, the Jim Crow Era, the Southern Strategy, and ultimately culminated in Trumpism and a white supremacist insurrection at the US Capitol… So yeah… not great. https://t.co/pxMlplgO1E — Ahmed Baba (@AhmedBaba_) April 12, 2022 I love how frequently you source your tweets by reading the first 3 sentences of random Wikipedia pages and your dedication to never reading a single sentence more. https://t.co/303hNm8DFe — Kendall Brown (@kendallybrown) April 11, 2022 Did John Wilkes Booth write this tweet? — Elie Mystal (@ElieNYC) April 11, 2022 If you think Andrew Johnson was a good choice, then maybe you think Joe Biden should've taken Don Jr. as his running mate in 2020. This is daft. https://t.co/bD0KogBhkp — Grant Stern is boosted! (@grantstern) April 11, 2022 As I’ve said before, Andrew Yang is like fudge, the first bite is great then you’re like what am I doing? (Andrew Johnson is a fascinating character, also considered the worst US President for basically attempting to reinstate slavery.) https://t.co/50h5JR9f0T

On Tuesday, he tried to double down by suggesting that the example he used to support his idea was not a bad one.
Andrew Johnson was unfortunately a terrible, destructive President. It only heightens the tragedy of Lincoln’s assassination. It doesn’t mean a unity ticket is a bad idea.

That didn't work out well for him either.
For crying out loud, stop referring to it as a "unity ticket." It was a political calculation that reflected specific challenges facing Lincoln and the Republican Party related to the progress of the war in 1864. Historical context matters. #historyteacherhttps://t.co/OhtfzzrNKY
