Fox News host Eboni K. Williams denounced President Trump’s failure to explicitly condemn neo-Nazis and the KKK in his initial statements after last weekend’s events in Charlottesville, Va.

Williams called out the president in her segment “Eboni’s Docket” on “The Fox News Specialists.”

Calling his initial statement regarding the incidents “ambiguous” and “irresponsible,” Williams explained that she had initially withheld judgement from Trump, but the events in Charlottesville forced her hand. She called him out for deciding that “[his] portion of the base that is absolutely racist is so significant, so valuable that [he] hesitates even in the face of blatant, flagrant hatred to risk turning them off and thereby crippling [his] political stronghold.”

Williams then categorized his actions as an attempt to calm voters upset over the “perceived depreciation of the intrinsic value of whiteness in this country,” and offered an example of what a forceful condemnation would have sounded like.....

Serious questions....is there any evidence at all that there were neo-Nazi's OR KKK members at that rally?

Eh... Aren’t people making more of Trump’s response to this than they are about what actually occurred?? These same dopes (that’s you Jimmy Fallon) said nothing when Obama took days for even more tepid responses.

The world has gone mad.

Vented about this in another thread yesterday. The big disappointment for me was the fact that Rob O’Neill, who was also on the panel, agreed with everything she said. Really sickening.

(from the article):" Williams called out the president in her segment
“Eboni’s Docket” on “The Fox News Specialists.” "
2ndDivisionVet :" Never heard of her."

Me either .. but I think its indicative of where Fox News is headed under their 'new leadership'.
I might have to re-evaluate my thoughts about Fox News becoming 'Faux Knews'.

I saw that yesterday, she was really on her high horse.
Her BLM card is now on the table for all to see. And if she were a cute white lawyer who wanted to be on a news show? Oh sorry, a dime a dozen.

Funny, I NEVER see the hyperventilating mob of leftie losers caterwauling for such a length of time whenever a mooselimb murders a bunch of people in the US. They never whined like this over hussein’s pathetic responses to the Cali Christmas shooters (islamic terror attack) nor the fag mooselimb who shot up the nightclub in Florida (in the name of mohammed, piss be upon him).

And what if there were? Do you lose your first amendment rights if you identify as such? If so, when do Antifa, Communists, Black Lives Matter or Anarchists lose theirs?

Those who see racism under every stone and behind every corner are the REAL racists.

It’s all they can think about, they are so obsessed by it.

I’m getting to the point where the only news station I watch is OAN One America News Network on DirectTV 347 channel.

So did Dana Perino and Karl Rove. And they aren’t “special”, as Eboni is; they’re just Bush whores.
