Yes it was definitely a big gotcha moment but still, on a personal level i don’t like it. Perhaps it’d be different if instead of Juan it was someone like a Michael Moore or Joy Behar, someone who has been especially nasty and unfair to conservatives — but as far as i’m aware Juan has always been a pretty decent guy. To me it especially reflected poorly on Hannity in that he called Williams a friend, but you don’t lie to a friend (saying it was a quote by Cantor) in order to set him up for embarrassment like that on national tv. Yes Williams revealed himself to be hypocritical but at the same time Hannity came off as a false friend.
And i think Sean realized it at the end, realized that Juan had fallen into the trap a little too far, further than Sean probably expected him to, for he seemed reluctant to lower the boom on poor Juan. Certainly he had to know that if there really was a true friendship between him and Juan that something like this might well have ended it forever.
I think that’s a fair take.
Frankly, I’m not too hot on entrapping anyone with a falsehood. Not even a liberal mouthpiece like Williams.
Please...Juan is only on Fox for the money. He hates us and everything we stand for. Same reason Buchanan is on MSNBC.
