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.....

Couldn’t there be a strong case made for a class action suit against this woman? Any Trump supporter with a record of giving to Trump, or rally receipt, or photo, or ... whatever. Certainly she has defamed and libeled them ... I have never wavered from my belief that one of the few things the left behaviorally acquiesces to are lawsuits. While there is still time every avenue pursued.

I’ve had this affirmative action hire pegged since the day I saw her. Very impressed with herself and her law degree. She’s superficially conservative for no other reason than because she thinks it makes her look like an intelligent independent thinker.

Her ‘analysis’ is embarrassingly lame, consisting of nothing more than prattling off the latest conservative talking points without understanding them. She’s a total phony who will embrace the left that is her natural home once the phoniness of her conservatism is exposed.
