Michael Bay was hosted at the Fox News Channel on Tuesday night. After said that the movie had received praise from those on both sides of the political spectrum, his host Bill O’Reilly started questions session.
“You didn’t even mention Hillary Clinton in the movie, did you?” O’Reilly asked after contending criticism the film is political was “unfair.”
“No, we did not,” the director said. “We were just saying the facts.”
“Here’s the thing,” Bay added. “The politics got in the way of this great human story that happened. And this is really to honor these type of men who do this every day, who put themselves in harms way — that’s what this movie is about.”
His host O’Reilly pressed him further.
“OK, but it makes the Muslims fanatics look terrible, villainous, awful, savages. And a lot of people object to that, you know?” he said.
“Well, they attacked. They attacked,” Bay replied. “This is the way I was told. This was the way it was written by the five guys on the ground.”
