Bill O’Reilly has chimed in regarding SantaGate at Fox News.

Last week, Megyn Kelly came under major fire for saying definitively on air that Santa is white, a statement mocked as possibly being historically inaccurate and also being ridiculous as a talking point… considering Saint Nick is fictional.

So, on which side of the debate does O’Reilly fall? Both. Sort of.

"Ms. Kelly is correct. Santa was a white person," The O’Reilly Factor host said last night, adding: "Does that matter? No, that doesn’t matter. The ‘Spirit Of Santa’ transcends all racial boundaries."

O’Reilly – who caused his own network uproar when he essentially defended gay marriage in March – then went on to argue that the entire "white Santa" controversy is an attempt by the far Left to "demonize Fox News."

Maybe. But it’s fun to debate, isn’t it?!? What do YOU think? Is Santa white?
