Bill O'Reilly and the Occupy protester he shooed away with an umbrella both gave their sides of the incident on both sides of the cable news circuit Thursday.

In the clip, taken as O'Reilly left a swanky Washington D.C. hotel, Wisconsin native Branden Lane begins peppering the right-wing talk show host with questions, when a gruff O'Reilly barked, "Leave me alone," before his umbrella suddenly blocked the camera's view, and chaos seemingly ensues.

O'Reilly, on Thursday's edition of The O'Reilly Factor, described the incident from his point of view.
