SEAL Who Allegedly Killed Bin Laden Says Hersh Report is 'Garbage'

“This thing is so ludicrous it's almost an insult to the word ludicrous."

Former Navy SEAL who allegedly shot Osama bin Laden and current Fox News contributorRob O’Neill, is the latest personality to rebuff Seymour Hersh‘s report that claims the Obama administration was part of an elaborate conspiracy to cover up the true nature of bin Laden’s death.

“When I was first sent this article, I thought it was a joke,” O’Neill told Shepherd Smith on Monday. “This thing is so ludicrous it’s almost an insult to the word ludicrous.”

“For this guy to have a few guys from Pakistan lie to him and for him to write this story, it’s a comedy,” he continued.

When asked to respond to Hersh’s claim the SEALs were able to just stroll into the compound, he replied, “Well I’m sure that my friends who got shot at and almost took a few bullets to the face through the doors would disagree with them there and be insulted.
