Jon Stewart and Bill OReilly have reunited for the first time in a decade to trade barbs.

The Daily Show originally planned to cover the Republican National Convention from Milwaukee this week, but after Saturdays attempt on Donald Trumps life and increased security measures at the event, Stewart had to settle for a debate with the former Fox News pundit.

OReilly, who was ousted from the conservative news network and settled a sexual misconduct suit for $32 million in 2017 , has long relished sparring over politics with Stewart and argued Tuesday that doing so actually softened bipartisan vitriol.

Now, I truly hate him, OReilly joked on the show . But I dont show it.

But now, thats not rewarded, he continued. That kind of detente where two people look at life differently isnt rewarded. The haters get the big money, and so thats what you have, and I think all Americans have got to hold the corporations accountable.

The former pundit famously made his bones as the irate host of The OReilly Factor. Despite his own history of sowing division on Fox News, OReilly seemed to suggest it was liberal medias fault for Americas hostile political climate.

You cant do anything about the guys in the basement these conspiratorial nuts, you cant do anything about that, he said Tuesday. But you can say to corporations, You better knock this stuff off. You better stop calling people racists and Nazis and this and that.

Saturdays assassination attempt on Trump naturally invigorated partisan tensions . The former president, as well as two rallygoers, were injured while one man was killed , in addition to the 20-year-old shooter. Republicans have since claimed that the shooting was a result of Democrats characterizing Trump as a threat to democracy .
