[The Daily Beest] As one of the very few left-leaning personalities still left on Fox News, Juan Williams has never fit in very well with his co-hosts on The Five. That division was laid bare Thursday afternoon when Williams managed to speak uninterrupted for more than a few seconds and left his colleagues speechless.
The dramatic moment came at what ended up being the final seconds of a segment about Black Lives Matter protesters in Olympia, Washington and the "woke vandals" who damaged the home of that city’s mayor.
For the vast majority segment, Williams couldn’t get a word in edgewise as Jesse Watters whined about the "circular firing squad" of activists and politicians on the left. Or as Dana Perino put it, "The mob giveth and the mob taketh away."
It wasn’t until almost six minutes in that moderator Greg Gutfeld finally turned to the panel’s only black commentator to "take us home."
"Well, you know, my take on this is a little different than the rest of the gang," Williams began. "Because to me, it comes down to one point. Americans have the right to a peaceful protest, to a peaceful assembly."
Of course they do. But Antifa and Black Lives Matter are working on the violent overthrow of the American government, which is not among the enumerated or implied rights Americans have. |
