Commenters online had a field day roasting Juan Williams, a woke commentator who occasionally appears on Fox News Channel to infuriate viewers with his far-left takes, appeared on the cable channel to discuss the election that Trump won and had an utter meltdown over the results.
Speaking about those results, which he found quite disturbing, Williams said, “I think that there are even recriminations now among Democrats as to Biden, and whether Biden should have dropped that earlier, or Biden should have stayed with a white male. Have done better? Obviously, Trump has defeated two women and now a black woman.” He continued, “So there’s all these questions, but to my mind, it seems to me incredible that a guy who led a resurrection insurrection against the United States government is going essentially now, you know, like … going back into the Oval Office. It’s unbelievable,” he said.
Co-host Brit Hume challenged Williams, saying, “You have to, you have to consider the fact Juan that a lot of people didn’t think that was an insurrection. They thought it was a riot, but not an insurrection. And had they thought there was a really as an insurrection, I don’t think he could have won.” Williams shot back, “What I saw was not only a right in terms of the violence, but a direct action intended to stop certification of a presidential election.”
Williams also said that he doesn’t think inflation and similar issues mattered that much to voters, saying, “I’m not sold on this idea that, Oh, it was the cost of x. I worry that it was, well, I’m not voting for this woman, or I’m not voting for this black.” Brett Baier fired back, “That’s not what we see in our data,” to which Williams responded by saying, “Here’s the thing, where do you see that? Because a moment ago, Darren was out here and he said, in fact, not only did the bro strategy work, and the bro strategy largely worked along the lines of white men, but the bro strategy also had some impact in terms of Latino and Black men who came along and gave higher percentage.”
